Outlook 2013 searching - reprise

Hello World..!!

Outlook has had built-in search capabilities for ages, but in 2013, it’s much easier to switch between searching within just the current folder (eg Inbox) and searching everywhere. It has also introduced further granularity like searching across just the current mailbox (or archive file).

Care must be taken, though – you might search for a term and find that the results include folders where you’ve archived stuff, or could be your Sent Items folder… so take it easy on the Delete key. The “Current Mailbox” | “Current Folder” selection is remembered for certain folders, so might change as you move from one to the other.

If you do search across multiple folders, when you hover your mouse over a result that’s of interest, and you’ll see a little bubble which tellsyou the folder that it’s in.

Alternatively, right-click on the “ALL Unread” menu immediately below the search box and choose “Folder”, and you’ll see your search results grouped by the folder the messages come from.
