When you're in Outlook - you can make simple searches just by typing in the search box at the top. Some examples of things to search for:
- One or more words you're searching for
- A person's name (first, last, or full name)
- An email address (of someone who you're looking for mail from, or someone you sent mail to)
- A phrase surrounded by quotes. For example searching for "New Paltz" would find emails only with those two words togehter since they are surrounded by quotes. Just searching for: New Paltz (without quotes) would show mail with either word.
If you are searching for something common, searching for a specific message from a person that you recieve a lot of email from, or other reasons you get a lot of searches, there are other options. To access the Advanced Search options - click on the search box and click on "Filters" on the right of the box.
