Using the full search options

• To do so, click the search bar in the upper right. You will see another option called "Search" added to your tools.

  

  From here you can:

  • Select Subfolders , All Mailboxes, or All Outlook Items to specify where you want the search to look.
  • Search for Attachments, Subjects, who you received the e-mail from or who you sent it to along with when it was sent or received.

Notes:

• If you don't click Close Search, the Search tab remains active. The item list continues to show the search results even if you click another tab, such as the Home tab.
• An Outlook search includes the file names of attachments but not the text inside attachments.
• To save a search as a Smart Folder, on the Search tab, click Save Search, and then enter a name for it under Smart Folders.
• Further search resources can be viewed on Microsoft's support pages.
