Default Search Function

Hi,

For my job I have a lot of different folders in my Outlook. with a lot of subfolders, this because there are a lot of different clients from different companies. So my Outlook looks like this

- Company
-- Company Division


--- Name
--- Name
--- Name
--- Name
--- etc.
- Company
-- Company Division
--- Name
--- Name
--- etc.
-- Company Division
--- Name
--- Name
--- etc.

Right now I have about 400 folders but I get more everyday.

I tried to use the search function to figure out which person needed to go to which company but when I do a search I only get all the e-mail relating to that person, not the place where it is stored (i.e. Outlook/Inbox/Company/Division/Name)

Is it possible to have this shown? Or is is possible to only search on map names, not on e-mails?

Unfortunately this is a limitation of the search indexing of Outlook. When you locate the name or names of the items you are looking for all you receive is the email and the folder it is located in. This will not show you the folder that folder is located in and so on...

A work around was to use the Advanced find in the searching tools section. You can choose each folder separately to locate the message(s).

If anyone knows of a simpler solution please share.

Best Regards,
