You can use the before and after keywords in your search, for example:
after:2012/4/26 before:2012/5/3
To search for emails between April 26, 2012 and May 3, 2012.

This is now possible.
Announced in a recent blog post, you can now use a bunch of new search operators, including RFC 822 message ID.
From Gmail Help - Using advanced search
rfc822msgid:
Find a message by the message-id header
Example: rfc822msgid:20050329231145.62086.mail@mail.emailprovider.com
Meaning: Locates the exact message ...

Today, finally, I discovered a new search engine that doesn't ignore special characters:
SymbolHound
SymbolHound is a search engine that doesn't ignore special characters.
This means you can easily search for symbols like &, %, and ^, or even
less common characters such as ©, ¬, and µ.
I'd like to share some information from their FAQ:

Found the answer in the Slack docs.
The solution is to add the text in:someChannel or in:someUser to your search query.

In the right hand side of the gmail search bar there is a drop-down arrow- click it.
The drop-down includes a date range option, and you should be all set from there

I wrote an app that will let you perform a text search for your Facebook photo albums, videos, notes, status posts and recent events:

You can exclude search results on GitHub using a minus sign. So to search for all issues not labelled as bugs, you could put the following into a search:
type:issue -label:bug
Source.

I tested this in Inbox. The date needs to be in the correct order. Use before:YYYY/MM/DD as documented in the Advanced Search - Gmail help article.

The default search works as though there is an implied AND operator between each search key-value pair:
is:pr is:open author:monishdeb
If you specify more than one key-value pair for a key, it uses the last one, and suppresses earlier ones in the query when results are presented.
The advanced search works as though there is an implied OR operator between ...

In the search bar, type posts by me and then the string you are searching for.
The new Facebook Graph Search should return all relevant posts by you.

Thanks to this answer, I've discovered that amazon respects + before a keyword too!
For example: Radeon +7990 will give you exactly 7990's results and not variations on models like 6990 or 7970 like it normally does.

5mi = 5 mile. Defines the radius to search around New York.

Road.li lets you put in your start point, end point, and a query, and it will show you places that match the query along your route. It also shows how much time each place adds to your trip.
It is a tool that I created.

As of July 2015, at least there is no reliable way to use a NOT operator.
At least on Amazon.de searching for hard drive -usb will reduce the number of USB drives, but already the last result on the first page contained "USB" in the title.
Searching for tischventilator -usb (German for table fan) on the other hand pushes usb devices even more to the top ...

As the title says, is it possible to look up the Facebook profile which corresponds to a particular email address, if there is one? What's the simplest way to do so?
Yeah, just enter the email address in to the search box. If that's known to facebook then it'll bring up that person.

Currently the only way seems to be browse and manually search via the Friend's connection
http://www.facebook.com/yourname?and=friendsname&sk=comments

Enter your query after authorizing the application and you should see something like the following

It searches the metadata as well so you can search for YouTube videos like

You can search only for reminders by adding the search operator "is:reminder" to your search.
keyword is:reminder
If you want only reminders that have not been marked done, add "in:inbox"
keyword is:reminder in:inbox

I tried several things and found some things out.
You can't change it by yourself.
The most contacted address is picked when there are multiple ones.
When you haven't contacted a person before, the most recently added address is picked.
The order in which the addresses are listed up in the contact details is unimportant.
It's sad that there is now way of ...

Yes you can - it is the same syntax.
Site search:
You can add site:domain to your search to restrict the results to a particular domain, e.g. duckduckgo site:gabrielweinberg.com.
Click the site icons next to the results (on the left) to do a site search for the domain related to that result. You can also do the same
by clicking the 'More ...

Reverse Image search engines like TinEye can be used to find this.
"TinEye is a reverse image search engine. It finds out where an image came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or if there is a higher resolution version"
I used one image url on it and results showed the 50 sites where it is used.

Autocomplete
Typing in the "To" field autocompletes the contact from the start of a word, not just the start of the contact name or email address. So, if you have a contact called "Joe Bloggs", you can start searching on the b of "Bloggs" ie:
Contact Search
If, however, you want to do a complete search of your contacts, you can click on the label "To" and ...

I was about to find 15 million using
