If you initiate the Advanced Find feature from the Tools menu or the associated shortcut key (CTRL+SHIFT+F), the issue does not occur.

Method 2
To force Outlook to refresh the list of fields:
 * Change the In: , and then click Browse...
 * Clear all checks from all selected folders, and then check to enable only the folder that you want to perform the Advanced Find in.



STATUS

MORE INFORMATION
When initiating an Advanced Find indirectly (by first initiating a 'Find', and later selecting 'Advanced Find…' from the 'Find items in ' window), the In:  option is set to search the top-most folder in the default store for the current profile.
