# Search Inboxes

`GET /v0/pods/{pod_id}/inboxes/search`

> Searches inboxes in the pod by address or display name, ranked by
> relevance. Each word in the query matches the start of a word in the
> address or display name, so `sup` matches `support@example.com` but
> `port` does not. An exact address match always ranks first. `limit`
> cannot exceed 100. A page can be empty and still carry a
> `next_page_token`; keep paging until the token is absent.
