Not working In-folder advanced filter view settings when custom searching

Question

Greetings,

I have a contact, lets call her, October Night <******@company.net>, that sends daily emails which are important for the day but become irrelevant afterwards, and when searching for a projects's history records, those emails from October spam much of the results.

I've tried following the suggested method from SysToolGroup to no avail.

https://www.systoolsgroup.com/how-to/exclude-a-folder-from-outlook-search/

I included the advanced filter of All Mail fields -> From

-> Contact -> doesn't contain -> October

or October Night

or ******@company.net

and when searching again it still shows a bunch of emails from October Night. What's more, this method does not seem to be permanent as the website suggest because when re-open Outlook the custom search criteria is gone.

I am looking for a way to have this filter permanently applied when searching for anything in my inbox folder or any folder

Hi Luinyiorno Jasanpahaf,

Good day.

Thank you for posting in Microsoft community.

According to your description, I am not sure if you have found one official document but I am sharing one official document about Use Outlook's built-in search filters - Microsoft Support just for reference purpose.

Furthermore, yes I have gone through your scenario, and I would like to share some specific information with you, since we are primarily focusing on pure Office 365 Exchange Online related scenario in this forum community channel, but Microsoft has a dedicated community separate community channel where our relevant Microsoft agent moderator and most valuable professional are providing possible information for certain different support scope and attributes, would you mind to contacting and place your concern on this specific forum community to get further information from our relevant forum community members?

Here's the URL link for the specific forum community channel to raise your concern: Microsoft. Q&A

I would appreciate your understanding and kind cooperation. Thank you again for your precious time.

Sincerely
Darpan
