When you use instant search, the main Outlook window will be occupied, such that you cannot deal with other matters in Outlook. This article will teach you how to open the search results in another window.
On one occasion, when I was using instant search, a new email came into my Inbox. Then I hoped to check the new email, but at the same time I was averse to abandoning the current search results. Therefore, I wished that I can move the results into a new window.
Actually no ways can accomplish my wish. But there are several workarounds that can leave the search results aside and check the new emails meanwhile.
1. Utilize “Advanced Find” Feature in Search Tools
If you aren’t devoted to instant search, the best choice for you is to use “Advanced Find” feature. This feature has its own interface, such that you can open the “Advanced Find” dialog many times in the meantime. To locate the “Advanced Find” tool, take the following steps:
- At the outset, click in the search box to bring out the “Search” ribbon.
- Then in the group of “Options”, click “Search Tools” button.
- From its drop down list, select “Advanced Find”.
