Why does Search say no emails found for a Sender when I have multiple emails from that particular Sender?

[Robin]

I have tried to search my e-mails so I can get all together messages from a particular sender so I can delete them all at once or move them to a particular folder all at once. It does not matter what search method I use, even the advance search method, if I try to look for all e-mails from people or social media, all it ever says it no emails found. But I have over 500 e-mails to sort through and I am having to do it one by one, which is horribly time consuming and excrutiatingly slow. Any suggestions on how to make search work?
