For some reason, this update didnt hit my Outlook until today and I update all the time. And dont get me started on Word why do I get a fatuous welcome back comment sliding in from the side when I open up a file I havent used for a whileWere grown ups, we dont need this childish bloatware from Microsoft. MICROSOFT THIS IS NOT A GOOD CHANGE. Just like the current one for anyone that bought any MS Office Standard version 97 (but excluding MS Office 2000 Professional) thru to MS Office pre 2013. How the ***k can they do this!
The following has worked for me and hopefully will work for you. YOU need to give us the option on what version to USE!!!!!!!!!!!! Searched today for an email sent to someone with the word bigfoot in their address. I kept thinking I was making a mistake. As a manager of an international company I have thousands of emails and sometimes that many for one project. Microsoft is!!! I dont have any evidence or feedback about this yet. When you are rapidly going back and forth, this makes the process of identifying e-mails more cumbersome. A webcam showing his hardships in Siberia should be on corporate info-screens throughout M$, with the caption: You will be next if you piss with our users..
If you have a Coming Soon switch in the upper right corner, you might be able to toggle back and forth between old and new search bars, at least for a while. See it up at the top? As soon as you started to type, other boxes that you added to that area would show. This is terrible, can anyone tell me how to cancel the search, because I cant see my inbox items except those I searched for. Instead of clicking the Help tab and then the "question mark inside the circle" button on the tool bar, I finally added this icon to my Customized Tool bar.
Could they have considered a focus group to ask for opinions? Absolutely useless, I hate it. who ever came up with this idea..stop it!! Microsoft needs to educate its people on the most basic, basic, basic UI design rules, and stop spewing garbage. Whether it's to pass that big test, qualify for that big promotion or even master that cooking technique; people who rely on dummies, rely on it to learn the critical skills and relevant information necessary for success. All the others kept telling me how to fix it.
Cant find emails I am looking for. I typed in how do I boldface a word, and a pane opened on the right to point me to an explanation of Linear format equations using Unicode Math and LaTeX.. (question mark) icon on the top right corner to launch the Help Viewer. Has this ever been fixed? What a terrible update. A good change would have been to remove or increase the search results limit of 1,025 items!!! Im still pretty annoyed. https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/322590-outlook-for-windows-desktop-application/suggestions/39046513-search-at-the-top-option. As a 365 subscriber, I end up using OWA when the search fails (often), it gets everything and works.
I miss my MAC and Entourage.
I used to use advanced search to combine categories and flags and folders to only see messages that were in a certain combination of categories, that were not sent by me, that had not been deleted, etc. Any way they will allow us to move it?
Whatever warped rational you care to use in your rebuttal, youve missed the main point..end-users experience, AND as a consequence, their productivitywhich is the most important, and trumps your weak rational of consistency. Wish they would provide access to old way. Its where they belong, its where they can thrive and do more policy innovation and cause maximum damage to the economy. Its very annoying to have people @Microsoft mess with my productivity. Several things come to mind about that box, that very large box. Id love it if this could just get disabled and go away all together.
This just showed up today for me probably due to when my firm decided to run an update. I wonder what would happen if I logged out of Microsoft and just use the installed software on my local drive, I thought "Tell me what to do" was the "Help" menu. the new & improved search bar is frustrating and is getting on my last nerve!
PLEASE BRING IT BACK.
I do not agree and I do not want it. My Outlook just updated to this new feature. Not yet for me. The new search bar is a permanent part of the most recent Office release, but I dont know when youll get that. The new Search function is horrible. I smell another Law Suit in the making here. Maybe Outlook never had a convenient search bar?? Every time I search, it says there is a problem with your connection, lets look on the server and then it does not give all the results, as I know that the item I am looking for exists. Like the Focus mailbox. Mine just changed Dont Like it at all. This is a big deal.
Anyone with a brain would have asked the question, will my user base find it more functional? .
Im not alone in wriggling with irritation about little things like that. I thought I woke up in the Twilight Zone. I think its time to go back to AOL!! For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. What we used to have was Advanced Filtered Search where we add different filters using the More button inside the Search Ribbon menu. Above the ribbon, on the title bar.
Its in cave paintings.
5 minutes, thats all I am asking. Great solution. Another mistake by Microsoft. Ridiculous. It doesnt matter because the dropdown box would cover the search results anyway because its a freaking big box. To use Tell Me, simply type keywords to find specific functions on the Ribbon.
Microsoft is changing the position of the search bar as part of a grand vision that expands Microsoft Search into a universal tool that encompasses web and enterprise data in addition to our own stuff, and uses AI to make our searches so smart that we get over our initial feelings of annoyance. The shortcut Windows+E was introduced to move the cursor to the new bar, and this works well when typing, but if you want to use the mouse to scroll through and click on the search results, then you would need to switch back and forth between keyboard and mouse. Am I going crazy? The easiest way is to use the Tell Me feature, which sits at the top of the ","noIndex":0,"noFollow":0},"content":"There are three ways to find help in Outlook or any of the Office 365 applications.
I have to be able to search out last correspondence with clients and this just screwed it all up!! And somehow the search shows that on some people I have two entries for them when in fact I dont. And all it takes is a tap on the Esc key to make the dropdown box disappear, so what are we whining about, anyway? The Outlook desktop application was redesigned to look more like the Outlook webmail for ease of development, at the expense of actual usability of the desktop app. Why would they do such a thing and take a way a useful tool/feature! As to the other complaints, I cant speak to them as I dont have this yet but Im not looking forward to needing to click 5 times to change the search scope. Google returned this page.
Better than the POS new search? this has to be the worst update to date, Im breaking out in hives here (not really). Based on all of this, I conclude that one of the following likely motivated this shift from Microsoft: A. Microsoft has shifted its priority on the Microsoft365 webmail.
