Have you actually used the search in Outlook? The search seems non-deterministic and will happily deliver some results, but not necessarily all. And if you fire the same search again, it might even list a different number of results from before. It's quite usable if there's only a few results and all of them are quite recent/in the next days. But get a larger number of results and it will fall apart quickly

    I tried to search for something in Outlook last week. A particular message from a retailer I'd bought something from.

    A message from them was at the top of the inbox, having just been received, but I needed an earlier, the date of which was unknown. So I searched for the name of the retailer.

    Despite there being an email RIGHT THERE, Outlook decided that no, I did not, in fact, have any messages at all from any sender of that name. Not in any of my inboxes. Nope.

    Stupid shit. I hate it.

    Stupid work PC.
