This is great news, as mail without search is a hugely crippling situation.

Note that the feature is for premium (paid) users only.

There's no mention of whether or not this will also be available in iOS or Android apps as well. Information on this would be appreciated.

The announcement is specific to " ProtonMail web app".

Also: Available to everyone with a Plus, Professional, or Visionary plan

Right, I saw that.

as much as i dig protonmail, the rate at which they bring features from web -> mobile is staggeringly slow. it’s a bit frustrating, honestly

Their mobile apps haven’t received any serious update for years, it’s frustrating indeed and there is no excuse. I plan to cancel my subscription next month and try something else. Privacy is good, but not by crippling productivity.

My guess is that when they decided to rewrite the web front-end in React, they also put off any major mobile updates until they could port the mobile apps to React too.

Hopefully there is a big mobile update coming soon now that ProtonMail 4.0 is out of beta.
