MICROSOFT 365: Search Like a Boss
Hello Friends! Are you looking for something? Do you feel like you spend way to much time searching for OUTLOOK items? Do yourself a favor and try a few of these simple hacks.
- Open Microsoft Outlook and go to the search bar located at the top of the window.
- Type in your search query using relevant keywords or phrases.
- Use filters to narrow down your search results. You can filter by sender, subject, date, or other criteria.
- Refine your search further by using advanced search options such as searching within specific folders or for specific types of content (emails, attachments, etc.).
QUICK SEARCH HACKS:
| Type this | To find this |
|---|---|
| bob | Items containing bob, bobbinbobby, BOBBY, BoBby, or any other combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. Instant Search is not case sensitive. This will NOT find items containing abcBOBdef, or 123bob. |
| bob moore | Items containing bob, along with all of the variations listed in the previous row, or moore, along with any other words that contain moore, but not necessarily in that order. |
| bobby AND moore | Items containing both bobby and moore, but not necessarily in that order. Note that logical operators such as AND, NOT, and OR must be in uppercase letters. |
| bobby NOT moore | Items containing bobby, along with all variations listed in the first row of the table, but not moore. |
| bobby OR moore | Items containing bobby, along with all variations listed in the first row of the table, moore, or both. |
| “bob” | Items containing the exact phrase bob and not the variations such as bobby or bobbin. To search for an exact string, you must use quotation marks. |
| from:”bobby moore” | Items sent from bobby moore. Note the use of double quotes so that the search results match the exact phrase within the quotes.You can also type from: and then the first few letters of a contact’s name and Outlook will suggest a list of contacts for you to select. |
| messagesize:enormous | Items whose size is larger than 5 megabytes |
