Thanks, Justin. That does the trick. It does one more thing that I find useful. When I escape out of the search results, focus is set at the message in the regular message list that is the same message I had focus on in the search results. This can be useful when you want to look at other messages posted around that time even though they don't relate directly to your search. I always figured the control-e search was identical to the shift-control-f search, but no.

Wait a second, then just tab three times. You should start hearing results.

There's one more point. After pressing shift-control-f, you can type the word you're looking for in the subject field (as you say) or tab to the edit boxes for the "from" and "to" fields. What isn't obvious is that you can also type a term to search for in the message field. the way I get there is as follows: Shift-control-f Tab once Down arrow once Shift-tab. Now you're in the edit box for a message field search. If you've found a simpler way, I'd be curious. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Whitehead Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2016 2:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Question About Outlook 2016 E-mail Search Function Hello Tom; Well, I've tried different ways to do a search in outlook 2016, The only way I can get any results is, 1, ctrl+shift+f=advance find, Now type in a subjectline, Or, perhaps a few words within the email, Now press enter to start the search, Once search is complete, Press the f6key to view the results. Also, to read a message simply press enter, When you want to get out of the list of searches just press, the escape key.

This is the case with Outlook 2013 but I think should still apply to outlook 2016. You can move to the search box using CTRL with E. The list of results filter as you type. you don't need to press enter key. Take care.

I am trying to search for a particular e-mail in Outlook 2016, and can't get Jaws to read the screen display to show me what has been found. Here's what I do: When in Outlook, I tab over to "search quiry", and type in what I am looking for. I then hit enter. My sighted wife says that the contents of the new screen displaying the search results is visible, but Jaws will not read it. Am I missing a step for performing e-mail searches here? This used to work very nicely. Is there something else I should be doing? I'm using Windows 7, and Jaws 17 here.
