In previous versions of Outlook, I could right click on any Outlook folder
and select Advanced Find. It would automatically pull up the Advanced Find
box with that folder and its subfolders selected as the location to search.
Now that we have converted to Outlook 2007, I have found that Advanced Find
is no longer available when right-clicking on a folder. If I want to do an
Advanced Find in Outlook 2007, it looks like I have to actually go on a
folder then select Tools-->Instant Search-->Advanced Find or hit
CTRL+SHIFT+F. Either way, it only searches that folder and not its
subfolders. It also means that you actually move to that folder rather than
being able to stay in one folder while searching another like you could do
previously when doing this with a right-click. Even the Search box only
appears to give you the option of searching the current folder or all Outlook
items with no option for current folder plus subfolders.
One of those odd situations where it seems like a program upgrade reduces
some functionality rather than improves it.
Is there anyway to restore the Advanced Find functionality to the
right-click menu in Outlook 2007?
Thank you!
