Please let me search my inbox from a search field at the top of my inbox, instead of having to click the separate magnifying glass icon at the bottom, which is less efficient.

Would love to be able to do a search for specific emails from the same source or with the same subject, “select all” within the search, and then delete everything in that search with one click.

Project based emails - so email organised easily
Improved search - even when you search on a specific name doesn’t return all emails outlook is rubbish at search

When searching for keyword and list of emails appear, allow us to delete/permanently delete the emails.

Hello, can you please automatically place text input cursor into the search field when when the ‘Search’ magnifying glass icon is selected at the bottom of the screen?

I sometimes like to search for all of a certain type of email (for example Amazon orders) and then move then all into specific folders. Currently I don't believe bulk actions are allowed from the search results page meaning every single email must be manually opened and then moved, which is very tedious. This should be easy to implement and would make life much easier!

I would like to be able to select multiple emails after searching for similar ones. I was surprised when I wasn’t able to do that.

Search option doesn’t work perfectly. It’s difficult to find old emails.

I understand there are those who don’t want to search the trash folder but there are also those who do. I would like to suggest a toggle option to serve both needs. Right now if I delete something and need to find it in a week I have to use the desktop app.

When searching emails by name or key words, the results given should match more accurately. When I type a specific word I get results that are not relevant and have to scroll to find words that match within the results. Specifically in outlook for IOS, I don’t get all matching results. It typically only shows emails from me, when I actually need the original sent to me. Outlook didn’t used to behave this way in either iOS or windows.

Need to be able to filter on a sender, subject, or keyword, then “Select All Filtered”, and then have options (for only the selected) to delete, archive, move, etc...

It’s really confusing to have to go to another screen to search. Everything else on my iPad has a Search box which you pull down from the top of the list of things to be searched (in this case, that would be the list of email titles). As a consequence, every time I need to search, I try to pull down the list of emails, and then realise that won’t work...

It is a small thing, but when hitting the search magnifying glass if the keyboard would automatically pop up that would be great. Saves a click!

If you search for emails from a user, once it displays the results swiping left and right on specific emails doesn’t work. Adding this would be a very easy way to help clean up the inbox or to delete items that aren’t needed. Currently you have to go into each email and delete it from that screen, so there’s a lot of repetitive steps needed when working with a lot of emails.

To search I have to;
1) touch search magnifying glass
2) touch on text field
3) after entering text, i have to touch ‘search’.

Suggest when search magnifying glass is touched, search field is auto selected with keyboard available straight away. Search should commence after 1.5 seconds of no further entry (with search cancelled if further text is entered).

When I search on the mobile app I can only search for messages that I’ve replied to. Why can’t I search for emails that I deleted (or any other folder) and never replied to?

By default the search returns results from all mailboxes. Please add a toggle or an option to search within a specific mailbox when there are multiple accounts configured in Outlook for iOS.

Mirror Apple’s contact features; provide a contact button on the tool bar; improve the search function...when I search for a contact, all I want is the contact profile...if I wanted related emails etc, I’d search for those item separately
