Outlook does not remember fields for "advanced find"

[Eric_NY]

I often use Advanced Find on my Sent Items folder. In the search results,
Outlook displays From, Subject, Received, etc., but not To. Since all the
messages in my Sent folder are from me, it's not of much value to see my own
name over and over, but not the addressee's.

At that point, I usually right-click, select Field Chooser, and add the To
field. This fixes the problem for that one search. But then the next time I
do it, Outlook has forgotten that I like to see the To field, and I have to
do it again.

Is there any way to get Outlook to remember the fields I've selected in
Advance Find, so I don't have to keep doing this?

I'm using Outlook 2003.

Thanks.

I think Advanced Find can not do that. You should take a search tool
which can find such queries.
Try this tool: http://www.lookeen.net

I think this tool will work as you want.

I always used the *Advanced Find* & had same problem.
asked computer pro here & he said to try Finding messages or items by using th
**INSTANT SEARCH** in top right corner of Outlook, instead.
INSTANT SEARCH in Windows enables users to type a file or text within an e-mai
& return pinpointed results promptly.
See the following for help setting up the INSTANT SEARCH:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/ha012305851033.aspx

Add your "To" column to this INSTANT SEARCH,
then use Customize Current View (under the VIEW menu) to hold this new field.
See following for details:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA101209011033.aspx

IF the INSTANT SEARCH doesn't find what you are looking for, use the **"Tr
searching again in All mail items"** to search the rest of all the emails.
