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

Not having an email search feature in the new Outlook is a program killer for me and I've had to switch back to Outlook (classic).

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.

None of these options are in my mail app.

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.

You completely missed the point here

He/she specifically asked::

"I would like to search inside an email for text" i.e. if you are reading a lengthy email (either you read it in the reading-pane or you clicked on it so it opens in a new window) , and you want to search for a specific word or phrase 'INSID THE EMAIL' - it cannot be done!

That functionality has probably been deemed unnecessary by the email-gods, just like being able to re-send an email!

Way to go!!
