Outlook unable to search in shared contacts even when All Contact Items is selected
In online or cached mode, only when it is set to Current Folders is when I receive a search results from the shared contacts. When I run a search in All Contact Items, it doesn't give any results from other shared contacts I have and it seems like it is only searching my mine.

- Hi Syed,
I think this is a by design behavior. I was not able to find any specific official info, although, the following blog post might be useful. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/outlooking/2014/04/28/understanding-search-scopes-in-microsoft-outlook/Thanks! I think it would be nice to have as a setting to change it to force on all contact items to search shared contacts too. Any way, appreciate your response!
