When I first signed up with Gmail, I was impressed by how fast I could search through my email. Now even simple single-keyword searches can take 5-10 seconds.

Have you tried searching in another browser/computer? Sometimes clearing cache of the web browser helps this.

You can use the various search operators to narrow down the search. You'll probably have some idea who the e-mail was from or to, for example.
