      I don’t know what the hell happened to outlook’s search function with the update to 11, but I’m convinced it was actual sabotage.

      Outlook insists that no one has ever sent me anything. If I search for an email from a specific person, that person doesn’t exist. Unless sometimes they do. The first three letters of their last name, out of order? Fine, can find them no problem unless you’re looking for when they sent you an attachment. Then no.

      Copy and pasting their name in to the search bar? Who the fuck you talking about guy??

      Looking for an email that has “and” in the subject line?

      Here’s every email you have with the letter A in it. Hope this helps! By the way have you tried CLAUDE?!

        Yah, I had a similar thought regarding Google and the SEO which changed recipes into page long stories about the author’s grandmother. Instead of wading through all the text to find the ingredients, just use ai.

    Do it while being asked by a middle manager if you saw the email last week. Fucking story of my life.

    Holy shit this is brilliant. I find much better results searching our archive solution for a term than whatever Outlook returns for me.

    Next can we get a super cut of the CEO using teams to connect to a few different meetings? Sure it might be fine a couple times in a row but that software is such dogshit in general.
