Actually Outlook provides you with a feature of automatically searching all folders include emails in the Deleted Items folder in each data file. Please do as the following tutorial shows.

Hi Gerd,

By default, the corresponding folder names of the search results are also displayed in the mailing list.

Only after a few searches i realised that deleted items wer not being included in search results. This needs to be more explicit and also +1 to why would this feature be off in the first place
