Finding a Message
If you are using Email with others and others, you might eventually have a
lot of messages stored in your folders. When you need to retrieve a saved
message and can’t remember exactly where it is, Outlook can search through
your messages using keywords to find what you are looking for quickly. For
example, if you belong to a discussion group that posts messages about American
literature and you remember a message about assignment ideas for teaching Emily
Dickinson, you can have Outlook search your saved messages for “Emily
Dickinson” to find all messages with those words in the text.
To use the Find button
- Open the folder containing the message you want Outlook to search for.
- Click Find on the toolbar, or on the Tools menu, click Find. The Find
Messages dialog box opens at the top of the message pane.
- In the Look for box, enter the word or phrase you want to find.
- Leave the Search all text in message check box selected, or clear it to
search only subject headings.
Click Find Now to initiate the search. Any messages with the word or phrase
will be displayed in the message pane. If you do not find the message you were
looking for, click Advanced Find to add more specific search criteria.
