You cannot search Outlook from Windows Explorer. That will just search your file structure. <br />
<br />
Use Windows Search and that WILL search Outlook. I do this all the time. <br />
<br />
Open Control Panel, Index Options and ensure both Outlook and USERS show up in Locations. Rebuild the index if you make changes. <br />
<br />
Now use Windows Search and you will quickly find anything that was indexed. <br />
<br />
Explorer search is (can be) slower as you may be searching non-indexed locations. I do this also.
