Custom Search Folders in New Outlook

Does anyone know how to create Custom Search Folders in the new Outlook? 

At this point I only see a couple of standard searches. 

 

In the previous version of Outlook used Custom Search Folders: 

1. To create a folder of messages with a specific Label

2. To create a folder to find all messages sent on a specific date. 

 

Does anyone know if  this is possible? 

Or how I would go about to use the two described filters? At this point I also can't seem to be able to filter the inbox on Label.

      Hi Cvanhulst

      Since the original post, Microsoft has added the functionality to create search folders by people and categories. However, Microsoft has not commented on search folder by-dates.

        HI Teresa,

         

        The current options are not sufficient.
        It's silly to see that you can search on flagged but not on unflagged..

      Thank you for this reply.
      Do I understand correctly that there is a page somewhere online, which lists the improvements that are planned? If so, I would really like to know where I can find that 馃檪

      There are quite some features missing from the new Outlook, that regularly used. Maybe I can leave feedback there as well.
      Thank you,
