Searching for TO DO tasks in Outlook
I feel like I must be missing someting and have searched through posts but can't find the answer. I have been using Microsoft To Do (and love it). But now that it is available via Outlook, I can't ...
Has this seriously been an issue since May of last year? I am just now on this version and am mortified at the changes. The search bar at the top of the desktop app window does nothing but search EMAILS, not tasks. How is this even an issue that Microsoft hasn't addressed since May of 2023? I will be converting my tasks to another software that is more user friendly and will work like the previous version of MS Outlook Tasks. Bye, bye Microsoft!
This is incredibly fustrating and shocked Microsoft havent worked on this. A search option is essential.
Phillip_AT_Jones I have the same issue. It is incredbily frustrating and I am leaving this comment in the hope that Microsoft bring this feature back ASAP. It is taking an age and should be one of the most fundamental requirements for any task management list. Come on Microsoft, let's get it together shall we. I'll be reverting to Copilot AI to create an option soon! Much more responsive!
- I found a small (albeit annoying) work around, but I don't have a ton of tasks (currently only about 150) so for me it's feasible. I'm on my "planned" tasks tab and scroll quickly all the way to the bottom of the list. Ctrl+F to opens a search box and I can type what I need to search. This only worked after I scrolled to the bottom of the list which was quick for me with only a few tasks. Hope this helps someone.
