- [Instructor] Outlook has really great search capabilities
whether you are searching your inbox, other mailboxes,
your calendar, whatever you're searching for.
Notice that I'm in my fabric with Charles folder right now
and if I search, it will actually show me
that it's going to search in fabric with Charles.
That's the default if I'm in any folder
other than the inbox is,
you're in this folder, you probably want to search here.
But if I wanted to search the entire inbox from here
notice that I can change by clicking the dropdown
and choose to search the entire inbox.
If I'm in licenses and I click search
it will want to search licenses.
But if I'm in the inbox and search,
it's going to search in all folders.
Those are the default settings for Outlook
and you can change them but I think it's easier
simply to get used to them.
If you're not in the inbox,
then by default unless you change it,
you are searching in whatever folder
you are currently sitting in.
So if I wish to search, notice that I have some
recent searches that have popped up here.
I could search for items from Charles, from Christine,
from Griffin Snow, but I can also click this filter button
here to see more options.
Where do I want to search?
Who is the message from?
Notice we have suggested contacts that kick up.
Who is the message to?
Who else was copying on it?
What's the subject?
What are keywords?
You can select a from and a two date
and whether or not you remember that it has attachments.
And this lets me do something like say,
I know I got an email from Charles that had an attachment
but I don't know when, and click search,
and there it is.
The message from Charles with an attachment.
When I'm done with a search I can simply close the search,
not a problem.
And I can do that here if I wish.
I can simply go back out of search.
But search is particularly powerful.
I'm going to search for Power Pages
and I'm going to get lots of choices.
The first is from powerpages@microsoft.com,
but if I simply press enter,
I'll get everything about Power Pages.
Not just Power Pages as the sender
but Power Pages somewhere in the body.
And for each of these it tells me where the message
is located because I'm searching all folders
so I can find out if that is in a folder that I created
or in my inbox, in deleted items and so on.
Whenever you're looking for something,
it's easy to find but that's also true
when we're looking for someone.
If I'm looking for example for Rob Molina,
I can see all of the results for Rob.
But if I begin by simply typing his name,
notice that over here on the far right
there's a contact card for Rob.
I can click that and go right into his contact information.
So there used to be a separate search box for people,
that's all been combined in the new Outlook.
Simply begin to type who it is
or what it is you're looking for,
and if you want to search for all the emails from Griffin,
I'd click here.
This end of the information pane would show me
emails from Griffin Snow.
This end of it will show me Griffin's contact information.
That's how easy it is to conduct a search here in Outlook.
