Can I see just mail I have archived in Gmail?

In Gmail, the inbox sight just has mail which has actually not been archived. I'm seeking a certain discussion I had with a person a while earlier to locate a quote, yet I can not bear in mind the specific subject or individual I was emailing. I recognize it has actually been archived yet I can not locate a means of watching just archived email-- it appears I need to check out several months of All Mail in order to locate that certain discussion.

Exists an extra reliable means of watching just archived mail?
