Currently, I can use the search option in Outlook to find emails with file attachments, but I'm unable to search for emails that contain links to files. Is this possible? If not, I request an enhancement to provide this functionality. Thanks.

    Hi @Meyer, Lynda ,

    Currently, I can use the search option in Outlook to find emails with file attachments, but I'm unable to search for emails that contain links to files. Is this possible?

    I am afraid no, this is currently not possible in Outlook.

    I tried searching in the official feedback portal for Outlook and noticed that a similar suggestion has already posted. I've added my vote for it and will share the link below in case you or other community members would like to vote up or comment there as well.

    Hope this feature can be added in the future.
