To find an item

  1. Click Find icon on the toolbar.

  2. To search for specific text, type what you are looking for in the Full Text or Subject text boxes.

  3. To search for a name, type the name in the From or To/CC text box.

  4. Click Search to begin the Find.

Narrowing a Find

In the Subject and Message text boxes of the Find dialog box, type the uncommon words you've noticed in the item. If you search using common words, the results of your search will likely find too many items to be very helpful.

If you are searching for more than one word or want to search for words in a particular field of an item (like the Subject field), you can combine words with operators to further narrow the search. For more information, see About Filter and Rule Fields, Wildcard Characters, and Switches

If you cannot find the document or message, check your search criteria for misspelled words. Also, check the syntax of your search to make sure you are telling Find to search for exactly what you want.
