How to search contacts by date added in Outlook?

Author Kelly Last modified

Normally we can search contacts by names, companies, categorized, etc. in Microsoft Outlook. However, sometimes you may not remember these information clearly, and the only thing you can ensure is that the contact was created after a certain day. How to search? In this article, I will introduce how to search contacts by data added in Microsoft Outlook.

To search contacts by created date or date added in Microsoft Outlook, please do as following:

Step 1: Shift to the "Contact" view, and click to open a contact folder you will search contacts in.

Step 2: Open the Advanced Find dialog box,

In Outlook 2010 and 2013, firstly activate the Search Tools with putting cursor into the "Search" box, then click the "Search Tools" > "Advanced Find" on the "Search" tab. See screen shot:

Step 3: In the "Advanced Find" dialog box, go to the "Advanced" tab, and customize a search criteria with:

  1. Clicking the "Field" button > "All Contact fields" > "Created";
  2. Clicking the box below "Condititor", and select one item from the drop down list based on your needs. In our case, we select the "on" or "after";
  3. Typing a specified date (such as "2014-1-1") in the box below "Value";
  4. Clicking the "Add to List" button.

Step 4: Click to highlight the criteria you customized in Step 3, and click the "Find Now" button.
