In chapter 3 I touched on the Word navigation pane, which replaced the old Find window. Word isn’t the only Office 2010 program that has received an updated search feature, however; Outlook also has one, and it’s even more detailed.
You can begin searching by typing into the inconspicuous text box located over your email previews. As you’d expect, typing in a word or phrase will narrow down the list of results to those that include what you’re looking for. The real magic is found in Tab that now appears in the Ribbon interface.
Using the Search tab you can drastically narrow down your search. It’s possible to search only emails from a specific contact, only the subject line, only emails with attachments, only emails sent within a certain time frame, only emails that are unread, only emails that are categorized, and more. You can also open recent searches.
