Currently I'm trying to search through my rather large email archive on Gmail.
Unfortunately the words I like to find also occur in almost any email footer as the signature text.
While I understand that there is no entity type "signature" in a plain email body, it seems that Gmail is still (limited) capable of detecting signatures (and collapsing them with those ... buttons).
My question:
Is there a search operator to tell Gmail to search for text but omit the signature?

Kinda, there is a work around to do what you want, while doing the search, you can specify that results should not have some text, by using the field
Doesn't have
, and include in this field some text from the signatures.or if you can also specify to search for whole sentences only, by using double quotes like this:
"my one long sentence"
so it will match the whole sentence only, and not single words.
