When I have used the Search Box most times I seem to recall when I entered a search, below the box there would appear buttons that allowed me to apply it to Subject, To, From, or Message Body, or any combination of them. That was quick and easy and avoided the need to do a CtrlShftF and use that more complex screen. Something has changed or I forgot how to bring those buttons up because now when I do the standard quick search it is not searching the subject. The only way to do that is with the ctrlshftF search. I suspect I am just missing something. Any quick help would be appreciated.
