How does spam get past searches and filters? - eviltoast

I get a lot of spam. In the subject it might say something about Home Warranty. The sender will say Home Warranty (the actual sender will be randomwords@randomwords.com).

But whenever I use my email’s search engine, to delete all emails that say “Home Warranty”, it can’t find them.

Do people usually just ignore these types of emails?

    Only whitelisted addresses go to my inbox, then I just check spam to see if there’s anything I need to whitelist there (usually I’ll know I need to check it if I’ve just given my email somewhere new) and empty it
