Outlook Search not working

For example i type ---  From:"Bill gates"  --- in the search bar and the search engine just search all my mails with "From" in the text, which mean it searches nothing, beacause all the emails have the word "from and to". What can i do, thanks. 

  • happytomtom  I found out why, this might help you guys. 

    As outlook is stupid, if your outlook is in other language (spanish/japanese/french etc) you need to type the formula in that language, for example if you type From:"XXX" instead of De:"XXX" in a french version outlook you cant search anything, i hope outlook could resolve this problem, because frankly its a basic function that should be able to do it in english.
