Yep, use Advanced Find and select the folders you want to search in.

My Outlook 2003 sometimes burps on this. I go into advanced and selecat all
folders and sometimes it doesn't find things. For example - I create "Old
Bob" email and any Bob emails I put into there and sometimes when I search,
it has trouble finding my search criteria within the "Old Bob" folder -
despite me manually selected All Subfolders.

You're better of searching your mail with Lookout. It is available as a free
download from Microsoft.

But you need the .NET framework installed to use it. :-(
