Search for flagged emails from the Outlook search bar/field (Ctrl+E)
I initially posted this on the Microsoft Answers site.
I like typing complex search criteria into the Outlook 2013 search bar rather than navigating the GUI and buttons to create a query. The syntax for the search bar is exemplified here:
- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/learn-to-narrow-your-search-criteria-for-better-searches-in-outlook-d824d1e9-a255-4c8a-8553-276fb895a8da?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us
- https://www.msoutlook.info/question/boolean-search-with-multiple-criteria
What is the syntax for flagged messages? Neither of the following seems to work:
- flagged:yes
- flag:yes
Thanks.
P.S. My experience thus far is that the search bar/field syntax is the same for Outlook desktop apps and web apps. If there is an answer to this, I will be using it for both methods of email access.
From the link you provided, the criterias below allow the search for flagged emails:
due:last week Items that are flagged for follow up a due date.
followupflag:follow up Items that are flagged using the Follow Up flag.
hasflag:true Items that are flagged for follow up.
You can also use followupflag:followup flag
