Outlook 2007 - Changing Default Search

Guest

Is there a way to change the Outlook 2007 default search? Currently it
searches all parts of the email for a particular email folder. Can I change
this to only search the From field in the email header? I know that I can
add search criteria by clicking the >>, but is there a way to make it always
just search a specific field or set of fields instead of the entire email.
Too many results are being returned.

Blessings,

You can't change the default, but you can type in the name of a field you want to search on, e.g.:

from:[email protected]
