Hello Jack,

I  also received that one, but it is different. It pertains to Google+
which,  as  you  quote,  will  be shutting down. The "March 31st" date
mentioned  in this message, is when they suggest you start downloading
your content, if you don't want to loose it.

I'd  bet  they *did* contain the string, most probably in the headers.
Most  of  which are not shown/displayed unless you select View/RFC-822
headers. This is so because "ANY PART" means exactly that, any part of
the  message (the whole message) even if some part(s) are not normally
displayed.

As  I said above, they suggest you start saving/downloading G+ content
*before* March 31st.

> That aside, does anyone know why the search function would return so many
> invalid hits? Was I doing it incorrectly?

Explained above. Most probably they were not invalid hits.
