Search Mail and People in Outlook on the web

 Search Mail and People in Outlook on the web

In Outlook on the web, you can use the search bar at the top of the page to search for email messages and people.

When you use search from your mailbox, the results will include messages, contacts, and files.

Note: If the instructions don't match what you see, you might be using an older version of Outlook on the web. 

You can use Search filters to refine your search with options like Folders, From, To, Subject, keywords, date ranges, and attachments. To use search filters, select Filters at the end of the search box.

Instructions for classic Outlook on the web

Use Advanced Query Search to refine results

Use Advanced Query Search (AQS) to refine your search results. In the search box, type an AQS keyword from the table below, followed by a colon and what you want to search for. For example, to find messages with a subject that contains “report,” enter subject:report in the Search Mail and People box.

When you use AQS, you can search on multiple search terms, including any, all, or an exact phrase.

• Subject:product plan will find any message with “product” or “plan” in the subject.

• Subject:(product plan) will find any message with both “product” and “plan” in the subject.

• Subject:“product plan” will find any message with the phrase “product plan” in the subject.

You can also use AND or OR to search on multiple search terms. For example, you could search for messages from Jerri that include "report" in the subject by entering From:Jerri AND Subject:report in the search box.

Tips, tricks and more

Use these tips and tricks to improve the search responses. 

• Keyword searches are not case sensitive. For example, cat and CAT return the same results.

• When searching on a property:value expression, don't put a space after the colon. If there is a space, your intended value will just be full-text searched. For example, to: JerriFrye searches for "JerriFrye" as a keyword, rather than for messages that were sent to JerriFrye. To search for messages sent to JerriFrye, enter to:JerriFrye.

• A space between two keywords or two property:value expressions is the same as using AND. For example, from:"Jerri Frye"subject:reorganization returns all email messages sent by Jerri Frye that contain the word reorganization in the subject line.

• When searching a recipient property, such as To, From, Cc, or Recipients, you can use an SMTP address, alias, or display name to denote a recipient. For example, you can use JerriFrye@contoso.com, JerriFrye, or "JerriFrye".

• You can use only suffix wildcard searches—for example, cat* or set*. Prefix wildcard searches (*cat) or substring wildcard searches (*cat*) aren’t supported.

• When searching a property, use double quotation marks (" ") if the search value consists of multiple words. For example, subject:budget Q1 returns messages that contain budget in the in the subject line and Q1 anywhere in the message or in any of the message properties. Using subject:"budget Q1" returns all messages that contain budget Q1 anywhere in the subject line.

• To exclude content marked with a certain property value from your search results, place a minus sign (-) before the name of the property. For example, -from:"Jerri Frye" will exclude any messages sent by Jerri Frye. 

• To keep Outlook running smoothly, only the first 1,000 search results are returned. If the results list doesn’t contain what you’re searching for, try a more specific search.

Describe BIOS and UEFI

 

BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) and UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) are firmware interfaces responsible for initializing hardware and launching an operating system during the boot process. While both serve similar purposes, they differ significantly in functionality, structure, and features:

---

1. Architecture and Design

• BIOS:

  • A legacy firmware interface introduced in the 1980s.
  • Operates in 16-bit real mode, which limits its capabilities, such as addressing only 1 MB of memory.
  • Firmware is stored on a ROM or Flash chip on the motherboard.
  • Has a text-based interface and limited features.

• UEFI:

  • A modern replacement for BIOS, designed to overcome its limitations.
  • Operates in 32-bit or 64-bit mode, enabling faster and more efficient processing.
  • Firmware is stored on a dedicated flash memory or in the same place as the BIOS.
  • Features a more user-friendly graphical interface with mouse support.

---

2. Boot Process

• BIOS:

  • Uses the Master Boot Record (MBR) for booting, which limits partition sizes to 2 TB and supports up to 4 primary partitions.
  • Executes POST (Power-On Self-Test) to initialize hardware and check for errors.
  • Loads the first sector (MBR) of the storage device to find and execute the bootloader.

• UEFI:

  • Uses the GUID Partition Table (GPT), supporting drives larger than 2 TB and virtually unlimited partitions.
  • Performs a similar initialization process but offers a more modular and efficient method for hardware checks.
  • Loads boot files (EFI executables) from a dedicated EFI System Partition (ESP).

---

3. Features and Functionality

• BIOS:

  • Lacks built-in networking capabilities for firmware updates or troubleshooting.
  • Relatively simple and straightforward, but limited in expandability.
  • No native support for secure booting or advanced security measures.

• UEFI:

  • Includes advanced features such as Secure Boot, which prevents unauthorized operating systems or malware from booting.
  • Supports remote diagnostics and firmware updates over a network.
  • Can boot from larger and faster storage devices, including NVMe drives.

---

4. Compatibility

• BIOS:

  • Compatible with older hardware and operating systems.
  • Still in use for legacy systems.

• UEFI:

  • Backward-compatible with BIOS through Compatibility Support Module (CSM), but modern systems are moving toward UEFI-only configurations.
  • Required for newer operating systems and technologies.

---

5. Performance

• BIOS:
  • Slower boot times due to its older design and limited processing capabilities.
• UEFI:
  • Faster boot times and improved efficiency due to its modern design and ability to address more resources.

---

Summary

• BIOS is an older, simpler system limited by design constraints, suitable for legacy devices.
• UEFI is a more robust and feature-rich interface designed for modern hardware, offering improved performance, scalability, and security.

UEFI is now the standard on most modern systems, with BIOS gradually being phased out.

 

How to Name a Window in Google Chrome

A new option has landed in the Google Chrome browser. It will allow you to name individual  windows, so you'll be able to find the required one at a glance. The feature is available to everyone starting in Chrome 90

Google Chrome receives an option to name its windows. The feature is currently controlled by a flag. You can try  to enable by entering chrome://flags/#window-naming into the Chrome Canary's address bar. After enabling the flag, you will need to restart your browser. This will add a new option to the titlebar context menu. Let's review the process in detail.

First of all, you need to turn on the window naming feature if you don't have it enabled in your browser. In the steps below I am using the latest Canary build of the browser. If you have the option available, you can omit the below steps and go to the second part of this post.

Update: Starting in Chrome 90 stable, the window naming option is no longer experimental and available to the public. You can omit the below step and go to the next chapter of this post.
