OL 2002 and Advanced Find

WIN XP HE, OL 2002
Hi,
in OL 2002, when you receive a message and reply to it, you get on the
"header" part of the message in "yellow" when in the Inbox view with Preview
Pane: "You replied to this message on ..... date" Click here to find all
related messages.
Because I use a lot of separate sub-folders, that Find function will not
find the replies oftentimes as it does not look in those sub-folders. It
only looks in Inbox, Drafts and Sent Items, by default.
Is there a way for me to add folders and sub-folders to it so that I can
perform this search from the same location (Inbox) without to manually input
the folders and subfolders each time?
Tx,
S

I don't think so...

If I try to save the search (after manually inputting the desired folders
and sub-folders) OL asks me for a name in the Save As.... and it wants an
extension as such: "filename.oss". It suggests filename "Messages from" as a
title with the .oss extension.
1) Where should I save this file?
2) I don't want to overwrite that feature by messing around. Is that file
name "Messages From" an OL default?

You can save it wherever you want, and it's doubtful you'd mess up anything
if you changed the filename -- it's just giving you a suggested filename to
make it easier for you to find later. Just don't change the .oss extension
or it won't work when you try to pull it up next time.

OK.
I'll give it a shot and we'll see what happens.
Do u know if there is a way to creat a shortcut to a saved search in
OL--toolbar, etc--so that I can have instant access to it?

Not offhand, sorry...and I don't have a copy of Outlook 2002 installed here
to play with.
