When creating a Search Folder in the Outlook 365 desktop app, the user is prompted to pick a folder to include in the search. Calendar does not appear in the dialog box -- only email message folders. Is there a way to create a Search Folder (i.e., saved search) that applies to appointment items stored in the Calendar folder associated with the main OST?

"Calendar" does not appear under the top-level OST/PST, so it's not possible to do this by just picking the Outlook store in question and check the box for all subfolders.

If this is impossible, what's the best workaround if there is a frequent complex search a user wants to run on Calendar?

  • I think what you must do is first select the calendar view. Then in that view use the search box to find calendar items

  • That doesn't allow me to create Search Folder -- I understand how to search for calendar items, but am looking for a way to create an Outlook Search Folder that includes calendar items.

  • I posted the above because there does not appear to be a way to do what you wish.

  • I agree with John. There is currently no way to create an Outlook 365 search folder for calendar items.

  • Is there any alternative that would function as a "saved search" in calendar? I suppose I could write VBA corresponding to the search and execute that as a macro. Anything easier?

First try to use find option and try to find in advance. In advance find option gives you the items you are looking.

Otherwise you can reset your outlook to solve your issue.

  • This doesn't appear to be responsive to my question. It's not something that can be solved by resetting Outlook--it appears to be a limitation that Outlook has no way to create a saved search for calendar items.
