Author: Xiaoyang Last Modified: 2024-11-01

If there are hundreds or thousands of meetings and appointments in your Outlook calendar, how could you search the specific meetings and appointments based on one or more criteria at once? Normally, you can apply the Search function in Outlook for searching, but, this feature does not support to save the search criteria for future using.

Here, I will talk about a powerful feature, Advanced Search of Kutools for Outlook, with this utility, you can quickly search and filter the specific Emails, Tasks, Contacts, Appointments and Meetings and then save the search criteria and reuse them anytime.
