There seems to be no way to limit the search to a specific folder, ie. you archive or inbox.

Good idea that search function is now extended to keyword. However, if you just want to search for e.g. a sender, you get too many results, because all mails will be listed where the sender's name mentioned in the text. Would be easier, if you introduce search categories, like:
- from
- to
- cc
- bcc
- subject
- keyword

Very hard when searching on email history

Enable Search folders in OWA, this is a brilliant option. It would be better if Search Folders were synced through other Outlook Apps too, like Desktop, Android & etc...

We should be able to search any type of Outlook item (Mail, People, Calendar, Notes and Tasks). It'll be even better if we can search through Teams messages too.

I couldn't find a search box or tool. It may have been there, but I couldn't find it. It needs to be more obvious.

Can i add a feature request to OUtlook online and the Mail app in windows. can we get a right click search function to search by this sender. and get a search by this conversation please.

Why can't you search a folder for specific people anymore. You can search by size and date but not people.

Search fails to open the email it has found! A list appears with yellow highlight of search keywords, but when you click the email it opens another email. The original email was sent in a mass broadcast and the search is for a reply from one person in the broadcast. When selecting the search found item it opens a chain of emails relating to the broadcast but the one I need is not visible. This is a basic need and a bug in Outlook.

Advanced Search Folders as Favorites (ie. All Unread & Flagged)

Searching some e-mail is very difficult. Especially when we do not know about some person's e-mail and we have only their name, its not working.

It should show with date (i.e. 09-Feb-2019) but only time and day is appearing.

Sometimes delay in sending e-mail is not working even though it is already set.

Even if I already red the e-mail, still it is appearing as unread. Sometimes, vice versa also.

In older outlook version I can search emails in one folder, that is not possible in this version, please add this feature.

Can we have more filters, where we can specify multiple filters simultaneously and not only restricted to 1 or 2 filters? So we should have filters like the sender, receiver, subject, body, has attachments, etc. and we use whichever combination of those to help us search quicker and more accurate.

In the old look, I could go back to very old emails quickly. In the new one, I can't. Takes hours!!

The suggested/autofill for search doesn't seem to consistently work - it sometimes doesn't return autofill/suggestions as you start typing (or will only present suggested searches after you conduct a keyword search and click into the search box again) but sometimes does and when you start typing a contact it doesn't always return a search for messages from that sender.

I like how the search in the new Outlook has been placed on the top, and how some of the advanced options like hasattachments: true are available from a dialog box. However, I use the from: [name] AND subject: [subject] search features regularly and this doesn't seem to be possible anymore in the new search bar. It's okay if you want to add these options to the dialog box; just don't remove them entirely!

I dont see "Search Mail and People" option in the new version. This was very useful in older version to find an e-mail or contacts.

can't search mail into particular folder which was easy in old outlook setup. In this new outlook, it search for all folder

I am not able to pull up a searched contact with the new outlook format. I have to go back to the old format and even at that, the only way I can see the info is if I tell it to Edit it...
