Overall, the spam protection built into Gmail is very good. Very seldom do I get a message in my Inbox which I mark as spam. On the flip side, however, I have anywhere from 350-400 are in my spam folder at any give time. Personally, I don’t feel the need to spend my time scanning through all these to see if there might be a legit email among the garbage. Instead, I use a Gmail search filter to scan for me.
The linked article is a great idea. I have modified the text I search for to fit what I would consider keywords. Using this filter cuts the messages I scan down to a couple of dozen which is much more manageable.
While this certainly isn’t perfect, it is a great way for Gmail users to catch most any false positive dropped into the spam folder.
