Seems like one should be able to do full text search through all emails to
locate a word or phrase embedded in the body of one or more emails. I know I
can do that at work, in both Outlook and GroupWise...why not at home, with
Entourage?

But Entourage seems to only allow searching through Subject, From, To,
Category and Project...but not Body. What am I missing - is there a
workaround?

Take a look at the Advanced Find under the Edit menu (or just select
the More Options on the regular Find menu).

If you are using Tiger and Entourage 2004, you can also enable
Spotlight indexing. Once enabled, all your e-mails become searchable
through Spotlight directly.

I suggest you use Spotlight on the Mac to search for text anywhere in the
computer, not just in Entourage. It is a great tool and provides grouping
by types of file. Just click on the little magnifying glass on the top right
of the screen and type what you want to search for.
