On the topic: has anybody else found searching in Outlook inconsistent? No matter if I use control plus e or alt+q, sometimes it decides to create a new message and sometimes my focus lands somewhere in the ribbons. I’d say less than half the time my curser does land in a search field. In my work I need to do these searches a lot and it feels like at one time it was a lot easier and more consistent than it has been for the last couple of years. If anybody has advise or tips to improve this process for me, I’d deeply appreciate it!

Thanks

what I used to do is just stay in the inbox and hit control plus E. then my curser would always land in the search field.

I have no idea if this willhelp but those are my observations.

Thanks and happy Friday.

Hi Sarah-all,

With outlook classic, office 365, latest jaws and win11, I can search by hitting f3 in outlook. Wonder if it is the same effect as produced by control-e.

Given that F3 is kinda-sorta the universal accelerator key for search functionality all over Windows apps it's no surprise it's used this way in Outlook along with myriad other applications.
