You do not need to browse through folder after folder to find an old email. Microsoft Outlook Search can quickly locate messages using a company name, person’s name, subject, or keyword.
Start With a Simple Outlook Search
Click in the Outlook search box and enter a useful word or phrase, such as a company name. Outlook searches the selected location and displays matching messages. Your search settings determine whether Outlook checks the current folder, mailbox, or all mailboxes.
Starting with a broad keyword and then adding criteria is often faster than attempting to build a complicated search immediately.
Key Takeaways
- Search by company, person, subject, or memorable keyword.
- Confirm that Outlook is searching the folders and mailboxes you expect.
- Add more criteria only when the first search returns too many messages.
