Search inside an email and search for emails (new Outlook)

I am amazed that one year after appearance of the new outlook, MS could not solve the lacking find function (CTRL + f ) to locate a text string in a mail.
This is abolut ELEMENTARY !!!
I have to revert to classic outlook because of this !!
I believe most user have this problem, as it is again an again readdressed ..

Hope MS can one day solve this.

This is hugely annoying ! And annoying that there is no update on this since being flagged over 9 months ago. Come on M Soft - please respond / fix !!

Hi Neil Dallison_154

Thank you for posting to the Microsoft community. 

It seems that you wanted to know how to use Find me in searching Emails inside the Inbox or email.

We understand the importance of this case to be addressed. Allow us to check on this and we’ll assist you in the best way we can.

According to what I have researched the “Find Related: Messages in this conversation” feature is missing in the new Outlook. Many users have reported this issue and requested Microsoft to bring it back. However, there is no official response or solution from Microsoft yet.

As a workaround, you can try to use the “View email messages by conversation” feature, which allows you to group and view all messages in the same thread with the same subject line2. To do this, you need to:

Go to the View tab and select Show as Conversations in the Arrangement group.

Choose All Folders or This Folder.

Click the arrow next to the conversation header to expand or collapse the conversation.

You can also customize the conversation settings by clicking Conversation Settings in the View tab.

Hello, @Neil Dallison_154 and @Fatima_J

Has there been any updates to this BUG?

We really need the new outlook to function as it is expected. When you open an email that is grouped with a lot of messages. We need to be able to click on Ctrl+F to do a search. The Ctrl+F in the new outlook last updated 8/13/2024 version 1.2024.807.100 this option is missing.

I have been using the new Outlook for about 6 months and it is missing a lot of items.

Ctrl+F opens the forward messages. it is supposed to open a dialog box to search.

OWA in the browser works perfectly.

Strongly agreeing with this request. Must be able to search for text within a message that you've popped out to its own window.

CTRL F is the default shortcut for find in almost every other Microsoft application like Word, Excel, Visual Studio, etc. Outlook is the only Microsoft app that does not use uses Ctrl F for find. Ctrl F is the industry standard for find. Also, not having a find function in the new outlook to search for keywords inside a message is very disappointing. I hope they add it soon or it will not be my default email app.
