Search in outlook

[bjorno52]

Is there a way to search in outlook, so that it starts with the most recent,
instead of starting with the oldest one

For Outlook 2003 and previous and on Windows XP;
No, the native search does not support that; it starts with the first item
that is stored in the pst-file (this does not have to be the oldest in terms
of received)
You can do this when you install an indexing tool such as Windows Desktop
Search;

When using Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010 on Windows Vista or Windows 7, the
data in Outlook is indexed by default and results are indeed (usually) from
newest to oldest. Results are popping up that much faster that you usually
do not even realize which it is presenting first ;-)

I'm using 'Lookeen' (http://www.lookeen.net) as my preferred search tool
in Outlook. Could be something for you, too. It's fast and always
brought me good results...

I'd recommend using an Outlook search add-in called Lookeen. It's imho muc
faster and more effective than the instant search. You can easily define whic
folders, pst-files, archives, and even folders on your system should be indexed
which makes it a full desktop search as well.
Easy to use and fully integration in Outlook since version 2003. I'm testing i
with the beta 2010 right now and it works pretty stable. If you're intereste
