Search Object (Outlook)

Contains information about individual searches performed against Outlook items.

Remarks

The Search object contains properties that define the type of search and the parameters of the search itself.

Use the Application object's AdvancedSearch method to return a Search object.

Use the AdvancedSearchComplete event to determine when a given search has completed.

Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example returns a search object named "SubjectSearch" and displays the object's Tag and Filter property values. The Tag property is used to identify a specific search once it has completed.

Sub SearchInboxFolder() 
 
'Searches the Inbox 
 
 
 
 Dim objSch As Search 
 
 Const strF As String = _ 
 
 "urn:schemas:mailheader:subject = 'Office Christmas Party'" 
 
 Const strS As String = "Inbox" 
 
 Const strTag As String = "SubjectSearch" 
 
 Set objSch = Application.AdvancedSearch(Scope:=strS, _ 
 
 Filter:=strF, SearchSubFolders:=True, Tag:=strTag) 
 
 
 
End Sub 
 

The following VBA example displays information about the search and the results of the search.

Private Sub Application_AdvancedSearchComplete(ByVal SearchObject As Search) 
 
 
 
 Dim objRsts As Results 
 
 MsgBox "The search " & SearchObject.Tag & "has completed. 
 
 Set objRsts = SearchObject.Results 
 
 'Print out number in Results collection 
 
 Debug.Print objRsts.Count 
 
 'Print out each member of Results collection 
 
 For Each Item In objRsts 
 
 Debug.Print Item 
 
 Next 
 
 
 
End Sub
