Steps-to-Take:
To search in mail:
1. Logon to your email account via URL: https://outlook.office365.com
Click into the ‘Search’ box at the top of the page.
3. Enter what you would like to search and hit enter. Ex. ‘student’
4. This will pull up all emails that contain the word student. You can then refine your search by Filters, who it was sent from, if it contained attachments, or the date.
5. To exit the search just click the arrow next to the search box.
Note: Sometimes the prefilled parameters for refining your search don’t contain what you want, so it is possible to search by giving Outlook keywords followed by a colon. For example if I wanted to search for an email by myself, Brooke, I could type in the search field ‘from:Brooke’ and it would show me only messages sent from someone named Brooke. I could also search for an email about students sent from myself and type in ‘students from:Brooke’ You can keep adding keywords in the search to narrow your results. They keyworks Outlook supports are:
Searching People:

4. You’ll need to click on the email icon to bring you back to email.
