Description Jim Nelson 2013-12-17 19:16:56 UTC 
Our extended search specifier syntax (bug #714494) allows searching for an attachment by name, but it would also be handy to allow searching for messages which simply have an attachment, i.e.:

has:attachment

There are other fields we might consider for this boolean operator, but thinking about it, they all seem a bit esoteric for the average user (i.e. has:html).  Suggestions are welcome.

It's also worth considering if the has: operator should have a negative version, i.e. !has: or hasnot:

See also the idea of a search builder interface, bug #726657.
If implemented, it should allow to use any available search specifier.

I don't find the negative version useful, while the file type filter would be pretty cool.

We may use more friendly syntax, as Gmail:

has:document
has:spreadsheet
has:presentation
