I totally agree. The search function is now next to useless. And the Outlook help is also useless. I put together a detailed set of questions based on exactly the same type of situation where you search for someone who has sent me a lot of emails and it chooses to find one email this year (where there have been hundreds) and the only other emails from that person that it finds are 2020 emails? The help people answered with "put the word you are searching for in the search bar and tap the search icon". I mean honestly, does someone really think i need to be told how to do that? Or is it that they just simply haven't even read what i asked?
The search function also puts totally random items in the search filter, and there is no way (that anyone can tell me about) of actually changing what comes up in the filter? So basically, the search function in Outlook just simply doesn't search!!
