Great video. Searching for emails is the bane of my life. And I was always appalled at how poor searching was in Outlook (where many of us spend our working day). This video has brought me some hope. Your videos are very well presented and I appreciate the way you include 'real world' examples when illustrating the functionality. Thank you, Leila.

I cannot tell you how grateful and relieved I am to have found your channel. I have worked in administrative roles since the late 80s and have struggled with organizing emails since email was invented! I manage schedules and email for other people and your tips have been so useful to help me "park" Outlook, increase productivity and feel less overwhelmed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You absolutely rock! I know everything is present in the documents released by Microsoft, but then who is going to read the boring text? Thank God that there is you who come to our rescue every time we are helpless and miserable.

This is great! As a shortcut, you can also type a "-" (with no space after it) to mean NOT (e.g. leila -gharani). Thanks for sharing, Leila!
