Query Builder [Outlook - Advanced Find Dialog - Query Builder Tab]

Office Tips and Hints Blog [Outlook - Advanced Find Dialog - Query Builder Tab]

"Query Builder

Find it

Another way to retrieve information in Outlook.

Outlook 2002 and 2003 have an option for filtering dialog called QueryBuilder.

To use it you just need to add the QueryBuilder key to the registry:
Use Regedit to go to the appropriate location.
Right click and choose to add a new Key.
Name it QueryBuilder.
There aren't any other entries that need to be made.

Outlook2002
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\QueryBuilder

Outlook 2003
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\QueryBuilder

The next time you go to Tools>Advanced Find, there will be a new tab for the Query Builder."

While Lookout has replaced Advanced Find for me, I still think this is pretty cool. Given how much time I spend in Outlook (and the number of emails I store there) any free search tip is a good one...
