Search function in Outlook is terrible
This is the ENTIRE problem with Microsoft. NOTHING works like it should. Search, in the year 2024, should be the most basic thing, and yet, it is not. It is not only Terrible, it sucks. NikolinoDE while your suggestion might work, it also shows that Microsoft does not really care about the average user. The average user should not have to follow the lengthly and conveluted instructions you have provided to make a basic feature work.
Search should just work. It works in GMail perfectly. Microsoft should take note.
What is the point in displaying results that are close to what we searched for?
I have searched for email with specific phrase in the subject like AA-BB-123 - I had one single email received with that line in the subject.
The Outlook search result shows, along with the email I wanted, all emails with AA-BB-124 in the subject field.
Now if I wanted "close" results that would work, but now I have a problem. How do I find correct email among hundreds of wrong emails?
If this is AI at work we are in trouble.
