Searching in Outlook365

Question

In Outlook 2016 I could always clearly see at all times where it was searching. To the right of where you typed in your text it would say either "Current Folder" or "Current Mail Box"
In Office365 you can no longer see that. Instead you must use the drop down arrow to see if it says "Current Folder" or "Current Mail Box"
Is there a way to always display that information, so you dont have to click on the down arrow?

Answer 1

The dropdown to the left of the search bar always displays the scope after entering text in the input field, ie Current Folder, Current Mailbox etc.
It will display what is the active scope after you change it.

Hi @K&Altus ,

Welcome to our forum!

Actually, we can see it intuitively on the left side of the search box.

And I have noticed this in the screenshot you provided.

Hope the above help!
