I a previous tip, you mentioned how to Remove Outlook search results from Start Menu.
For me, searching for Outlook items in the Start Screen doesn't seem to work at all. I’ve looked for the NoSearchCommInStartMenu Registry value but it doesn’t exist so I guess that means that it should work, doesn’t it?
Is there something else I can do to enable it again?
Instant Search only works on the folder that I'm currently in or on the entire mailbox. I know I'm in the right project folder but it has too many subfolders to do my search on.
Is there some way to make it possible to search the subfolders for the folder that I'm in as well?
I’m trying to print my Calendar but also want to include the (short) notes that are written in the message section of the Appointments and Meetings itself.
When printing the Calendar, there is a Notes field but it remains blank.
How can I print my Calendar with the notes that I’ve written for the Appointments and Meetings?
I’m using Google Chrome as my default browser but after installing the latest update of Chrome, I find several features within Outlook Web App (OWA) to be no longer functioning.
Some of these features are:
Is there any way to fix this?
When doing a search in Outlook, the main Outlook window is taken up by the search results.
Often I want to leave these search results open and want to continue with something else in Outlook. For instance, check my Calendar or Contacts folder or read a new message that just came in.
How can I have Outlook open the search results in a new window?
I sometimes see announcements about new features being added or fixes being made to Office 2016. However, I don’t seem to get them.
When I compared my build number of Outlook 2016 to the one of a friend, I saw that his was newer. I chose File-> Update Options-> Update Now and I got the message “You’re up to date!”
How can I force Outlook to install the latest updates?
When searching in my own mailbox, I directly get my search results when typing. However, when I do a search in a Public Folder, this is not the case and I have to press ENTER to actually start the search.
In addition, several search commands do not seem to work and are grayed out.
How can I make Instant Search for Public Folder behave the same as for my mailbox?
I organize and attend quite a few meetings with somewhat larger groups and I therefor receive a lot of "Calendar messages" like meeting requests, accept, decline, canceled messages, new time proposals, etc…
I tend to ignore these during the day to get some work done and because Outlook processes most of them automatically anyway.
However, at set times, I still want to go through these messages, especially to process the feedback that some people gave in their reply and to process the new time proposals.
Is there any way I can quickly filter or otherwise search my mailbox so I will only see all these "Calendar messages"?
Some emails I receive are having tags in the subject field formatted such as "<tag>", "!tag" and "Ref id #12345".
Instant Search does not seem to look at these characters when doing a serch query which skews the search results.
How can I search for strings with special characters using Instant Search?
When doing a Search in Outlook, I noticed that it by default only displays a limited amount of results.
While you can then click under the search box or search reults to display all results, is it also possible to always display all the results or customize the amount of search results which are be being returned?
