Amazon Fire Phone: Email Search Does Not Work for Me

I'm curious if this is a problem with the software, or is it just my phone. I've got two email accounts in the app (gmail and outlook), and the search function does not work in either one.

If I search, even for a word that's the subject line of the very first email on the device, it'll say "search term not found on device. Search on server?" And it won't find it on the server either.

This is the same problem if I'm trying to search for new (on device) or old (on server) emails, and it's the same problem for both of my accounts.

This is a bit of a dealbreaker for me, if it's a global problem rather than a glitch with my particular phone.

Any insight?
