Search Date Range Outlook

Question

How does one do an Instant Search query for a date range in Outlook, in order to look for emails between two dates?

This is answered all over the web, but none of the SE family came up in web search results. And, only the more complicated versions of the question seem to appear when searching SE itself.

Answer 1

In Outlook 2016, using date formats that are appropo to your system will work, provided they use slashes instead of hyphens.

received:yyyy/mm/dd..yyyy/mm/dd

or

received:mm/dd/yyyy..mm/dd/yyyy

will limit emails received in the given time period, inclusive of the start and end dates.
