searching for IP addresses in outlook 2007

[blue4hawk]

When I search for an IP address, say 10.10.15.55, I get no results found even
though I know there are messages that contain this IP address in the body &
subject of several messages. when I search for 10. I get results for all the
appropriate messages. If I search for 10.1, etc. nothing shows.

Instant search uses starts at the beginning of a word and . denotes a new
word.

Try "10.10.15.55" (with the quotes) or advanced find.

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion, however using "10.10" in instant search and
also with Advanced find trying subject, then body, then subject and body all
yeilded the same results. Is there a way to tell Outlook to only use the coma
or semi-colon, etc. to denote a new word?

I know that this is a super old forum post. Hopefully it helps someone though.
Within your search box escape the periods between the octets with a backslash.
10\.10\.15\.55
