Searching in complete/full Headers of Outlook

I'd like to do a search within the full/complete headers. It seems that Outlook can only be programmed to do a search in some basic fields, like TO, CC, FROM, BC, & SUBJECT. I want to include all of the header text to be searched within some of the more seldom-seem header lines too, such as RECEIVED, RETURN PATH, X-APPARENTLY-TO, etc. Is there just a search function where one could find a word within the complete/full headers? The Eudora program I used before did this. Can Outlook do this? Thanks.

Let me clarify my question. Options just shows the header of one message. I want Outlook to search through HUNDREDS of message headers for one item

Ctrl - Shift - F gets the advanced find feature up. The Search-"In" field is just limited to three items to search through. I often don't want to search through the entire body of hundreds of messages (takes way too long), but just the headers. The FULL headers

Under the Advanced tab, the drop down "Field" menu doesn't seen to have "Headers". It also doesn't seem to have some of the more seldom-seem header lines, such as RECEIVED, RETURN PATH, X-APPARENTLY-TO, etc. Again, the Eudora program I used before did this. Can Outlook do this very basic function
