Split from this thread.

Hi,

I'm trying New Outlook, I would like to search inside an email for text, and also search for emails in the inbox.

I cant see any way of doing these functions.

Control-F does nothing.

Can you help please ?!

Thanks

    @JChepaitus,

    I think you missed the point of this thead.

    Search in the top bar has always been there in New Outlook. That will search through mail folders and it works fine. What is missing is the ability to find text in just the current opened email.

    For Example:

    1. You use the search bar and it shows an email hit.
    2. You pull that email up and it's many pages long. How do you go straight to the thing you're looking for?

    Its really astounding how a feature so fundamental, so basic to an email application could be ommmitted by the biggest software developer on the planet. This is possibly the single biggest oversight I have ever seen for a Microsoft app. Outlook new is a good product otherwise, its a real shame this has persisted so long.
