Is there a way to search/filter gmail emails by the absolute domain without subdomains? If just do a search/filter on from:@google.com it includes all subdomains like plus.google.com, txt.voice.google.com, etc.

I know I can manually exclude all of those with -{from:plus.google.com from:txt.voice.google.com}, but the list of subdomains is quite long (and I don't really know the full list).

Did you try from:"@google.com" ? – BrianAdkins Feb 23 at 19:57
Yes, from:"@google.com" unfortunately works the same as from:@google.com. It really seems like gmail is ignoring the @ sign. – studgeek Feb 24 at 16:10

Use this filter in the Gmail search box:

from:(google.com) -from(.google.com)

I like the idea, and it eliminated txt.voice.google.com, but for some reason I still see plus.google.com. I've looked at the original message and it sures looks to me like your trick should work. The From line is From: "Google+" <noreply-2xxxxxxb@plus.google.com> – studgeek Feb 24 at 16:07
PS, Thanks for your blog. It's helped me out in the past :). – studgeek Feb 24 at 16:07
Actually, it doesn't seem to be working me at all now. It seems like the search engine ignores the periods. – studgeek Mar 1 at 16:49
