search and find needs improving
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.

Why is the search engine for Outlook Help so poor? I had a question regarding downloads, as in using the download button to get an attachment in an email. Nothing regarding downloads comes up. I don't think I have had a successful search of Outlook help yet. Do you actually want people to get frustrated?

Why does Outlook search suck so much? It rarely hits the exact word I search for, and instead shows threads without the search word. Why can I not specify where I am searching for what (I really need separate search fields for subject, body, sender, receiver,attachment)

I can't stand this new outlook, give me back the option to use the old one. I search for a specific email by name and whole **** chain pops up even the emails where searched person is not mentioned or a part of. Come on yall do better

Ugh! Can't act messages in search results. I opened Outlook this morning to be notified of supposed great new search functionalities. Good, I thought, and proceeded to search for an old email I needed to respond to. Although it appeared quickly in my search results, I can't see any option for interacting with the email. I can't reply to it or forward it. So in the end, after not being able to see any buttons for any such actions on the search results, I went back to my inbox and manually crawled through multiple pages. Jesus christ, Outlook. You guys should use Gmail and get some ideas. I swear, if my employer didn't force us to try and work using this platform....

new search is horrible, doesn't work well at all, and doesn't let me search specific folder. Overall the new outlook in general is just bad

I tried searching for a message I had archived and it didn't come up when I used the search bar in the new Outlook. When I switched back to the old Outlook it did come up.

When the question asked had suggestions, the format on toolbar did not have the options it said to use?

When I search on A, CC, BCC to find an email address, I can not find the address if the word is not the beginning of the address.
If I need to find contact and I only remember the domain, it is impossible to find it, I need to use the full search to find contact.
This is a normal action every day. -

Search function doesn't have options to search within the mailbox, folder & sub-folder. Only give a result of the 'current folder' & the result itself it's not correct.
