Save Searches in Outlook

January 9th, 2006

If you find yourself repeating the same searches in Outlook, you can create a custom search, save it, and execute it again by simply re-opening the saved search.

Here’s how:

  1. Open the Advanced Find dialog box (Control+Shift+F, or click the Find button, then selection Advanced Find… from the Options menu.)
  2. Enter your search options (for example, all mail with the word “password” in the message body).
  3. When the search is finished, select File | Save Search…
    Name the search something you’ll recognize later, such as “messageswithpassword.”
    (You might want to create a folder in My Documents called “Outlook Searches.”
  4. Click OK, and close the Advanced Find dialog
  5. Open Advanced Find again.
  6. Select File | Open Search…
  7. Select your saved search, and click OK. Outlook will repeat the search.
