How do make search in all mail folders the default?

[Guest]

When using "Search In" the current default appears to be Sent Items. I
would like to change the default to All Mail Folders. We are new to
Outlook and I am really missing the Eudora "search all" feature that allowed
you to search all mailboxes, and retain this setting between sessions.

If you are referring to the "Advanced Find", I believe that it defaults to
whatever folder you are in. So, if you are in the Inbox, it will default to
Inbox. If you are in Mailbox (or Outlook Today) then it will default to
search through all of your folders. Unfortunately it cannot search multiple
mailboxes or pst files at the same time.

I wasn't using advanced find, just the first "find" selection under tools.
Beside the Look for box is a tab that says "Search In" which allows you to
select the mailboxes that you you want to search in, one which includes "All
Mail Folders". I took a look at advanced find also but it appears to have
the same problem that I am looking for an answer to - retention of whatever
parameters you select (mine would always be for all mail folders) between
sessions. I'm to trying to save my wrist from the multiple clicks required
when using Outlook (I do have a note to check for keystroke shortcuts, but
haven't have time yet).
