How to search entire specific phrase in Outlook?
For example you remember a phrase and you want to find out the email message which contains this specific phrase. As usual you type the entire phrase in the Search box, but the search result displays all emails which meet the properties that contain just one word or more in the phrase.

In this article, we will show you a trick for searching messages which contain the entire specific phrase in Outlook. After using this method, you will get your ideal message immediately while searching.
