Search in Outlook 2007 is awesome. Depending on the way you work, this little tweak will save you a little time every time you need to do a search for emails.
Outlook (by default) searches emails in the current folder you are in. The Search results also come up with a link at the bottom to "Try Searching all Mail Items". I find myself ALWAYS clicking on the Search All link as I rarely bother to move to the relevant folder first.
Here's a quick setting changing that will force Outlook to search all mail items by default.
Click Tools-Options.
Click the Search Options button on the Preferences tab to display the Search Options box.
Click All folders and then click OK.

I'm trying to figure out how I can search in multiple mailboxes at the same time but i haven't been able to find an answer.
My setup only shows my stand mailbox eventough i have added other mailboxes
