Get rid of "top Results"

Get rid of "top Results" Just sort by time. It's confusing when I'm looking for emails and I have to look at the same email twice.

Thanks for your feedback!

A lot of users have found top results to be helpful, so we will maintain it for now.

I agree. It doesn't contribute to the search function.

Drop the incredibly stupid "highlights" or "top" whatever filter. It's garbage.

Please give us option to disable/remove Top Results when searching our emails on the website. It causes such confusion and serves no purpose.

"Top results" when we search emails is just waste, I just hate it, appreciate if you give option to disable it

Give option to see results from the inbox only.

get rid of top results or make it a toggle. it's distracting and a complete pain.

please remove Top Results from the search or let us disable it.

I find this very annoying. I have to train myself to skip the first three results, because they are almost never what I was searching for.

This is not intuitive. It makes a simple search outcome more complex. I'm getting email results from years back. Only thing this achieves is a reminder to delete lots of aged mails.
Just a simple "top search ON/OFF" would be welcomed.

Remove "Top results"
Or at least chronologically order the "Top results".

When searching mail in Outlook webmail, get rid of (or allow a way to disable) the "top results" nuisance. I only want "all results."

Get rid of the Top Results in webmail. What a stupid idea! I WANT THE MOST RECENT AT THE TOP.

really annoying feature that just gets in the way

Why would they add a "feature" to make it more difficult to search?!
Anonymous commented · February 13, 2019 9:14 PM · Flag as inappropriate

Gives me a headache and it's not even slightly useful! Why?!
