Is there a way to make advanced find available in the context menu that
appears when I right click a folder in the navigation pane? It used to be
there in Outlook 2003 but has disappeared in 2007. CTRL+Shift+F will bring up
Advanced Find, but right clicking on the specific folder to be searched is
more convenient for me.

No. Unless you need the results in a new window, Instant search offers most
of the same search options right in the folder.

That is unfortunate. Instant Search is not a friendly program for me.

I agree that removing the context menu appearance of Advanced Find is an
unfortunate "improvement" in Outlook 2007. Being able to right click and
choose Advanced Find from the context menu associated with ANY Outlook
folder, without having "select" that folder was a valuable search tool for
me. I am disappointed to learn that it is no longer available, and I continue
to wonder why program developers feel compelled to remove features when they
seek to "improve" an application.

Hi,

I recommend the search tool Lookeen (http://www.lookeen.net) for doing
searches in Outlook. This add-in is displayed in the toolbar of
Outlook. It´s very fast and the search results are very good. Take a
look on it.

greets

Hello,

yes, Lookeen is very good and extremely fast.

One question: with CONTROL+F it should show up, but it doesn't, it is the
outlook-shortcut for forwarding a mail.
How can i change this?

Regards, franc

It is CONTROL+SHIFT+F.

No, this opens the extended search of Outlook (2007), but not
Lookeen-search.
