Hi Wayne, Searching for lonely words is not a good idea when you're searching on all folders/mailboxes or in a folder where you have many messages. To use search accurately, after you tab to the Search Box or press CTRL+E to quickly focus it, use the Search tab on the ribbon (that tab is context-sensitive, which means it only appears when doing a specific task, in this case searching; you'll recognize the tab because JAWS also reads the group box surrounding it) to refine search by specifying information like sender, subject, dates, wetter or not the messages to search have attachments and more, as well as if you want to search only in the current folder, all folders, all mailboxes or all Outlook items. This last scope option includes both e-mail messages and other Outlook items like task, notes, contacts, calendar appointments, meeting requests and other thinks I don't remember. Also, be aware that options for refining the search change depending on the view (Mail, Calendar, Contacts and so on) you are using. As a suggestion purely subjective, I would recommend you to open search options and deactivate automatic displaying when typing and limiting of shown results. With the first change, it'll be easier to enter all the criteria you want in slow computers, starting the search when pressing ENTER instead; with the second, you'll be able to navigate through the results, when there are too many, as in any mail folder.
Hope it helps! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of wayne smith Sent: Friday, July 14, 2017 8:19 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Searching in Outlook Hello all- I am using Outlook 2007 and all of my emails are sent there and it is great for quickly doing many functions. One problem is when I want to do a search for emails from a particular source or about a particular topic. I tab to the search field and type in what I am looking for. Once in a while a list will magically appear and I can simply arrow down through that list and select one if I want it. Most of the time, however, nothing comes up or I tab to where it tells me: A large number of messages have been found click this button if you want all of them or limit your results. If I do that nothing that I can find comes up. Any help in doing searches would be appreciated.
