Search Folder not getting all emails OUTLOOK 2010 - EXCHANGE 2010 -

I've noticed that one of my search folders in not finding everything it should.

I do not use Local CACHE.
The failure also occurs with OWA.

I have an email from "Carlos@abcxyz.com"

I have a search folder that is created to find "abcxyz" in "frequently-used text fields"

The search folder does NOT contain the original email from "Carlos@abcxyz.com"
But,
I DOES CONTAIN my response to Carlos where his address is now part of the body of the email (since the reply has his address block).

?question: What is the list of "frequently-used text fields" when searching mail?
?question: If search doesn't do partial matches, how did it find "abcxyz" in the body of the reply?

thanks for any insight.
Phil

well this is very confusing.
I just created an save as draft an email with To address as: test@testSearchFolder.com

I then created a search folder with criteria of "testSearchFolder.com" in frequently used fields and it worked just fine and found the one email.

none of these were the issue.
there are two address field types - one is the display and one is the actual address. It was looking in the display not the address. I added something that let me get at the other field, but, I can't remember how now.
