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

    Still an open question?! Searching an individual email for something should be much easier than copying/pasting to Word and Ctrl+f therein! Isn't it 2024 already? 🤔

    In OWA, which is similair to the new Outlook, you can go for CTRL + F t o geht the search bar to search inside a message

    Ctrl-F is the standard search shortcut in most browsers, i.e. you are using the browser's search functionality, not something within OWA.

    In the new Outlook, Ctrl-F is the shortcut to forward an email (as it is in the old Outlook too).

    which utterly defies Microsoft's own convention on this. Every windows app uses ctrl+f for find as a standard. Making Ctrl+F as forward is a narrow mided way for a dev somewhere to have things the way THEY prefer rather than sticking to the standard, the majority opinion, and setting his own backward-thinking custom settings manually.

    Adding my voice to the Microsoft New Outlook development team:

    Please, replace 'crtl-f' currently assigned to forward an email with a text search!

    If not possible, add another way to search text in an email.

    All community highly appreciates your cooperation!
