SUMMARY
This article describes how to set the criteria for the Find command to search Outlook for an occurrence of a word or phrase without having to use Advanced Search and specify the criteria manually each time.



MORE INFORMATION
To accomplish this, specify the search parameters, run the search normally from the Advanced Find dialog box, and then save your search criteria as a Microsoft Office Saved Searches file:
 * 1) Start Outlook.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Advanced Find.
 * 3) Specify the search criteria, and then click Find Now.
 * 4) On the File menu, click Save Search.
 * 5) In the File Name box, type a name for your search, specify a location in which you want to save the search, and then click OK.

When you double-click on the saved .oss file, it searches for data in Outlook by using the saved criteria. Thus, whether Outlook is open or not you can click this file and it runs the search for you with the latest results.
