Running an Outlook search programmatically

Question

As shown in the image below, Outlook users can either click the search window (orange) or use the hotkey Ctrl-E to start a search in the current folder.

Is there a way to do this search programmatically? I've tried using the AdvancedSearch method, but it does not produce the same results I'm looking for.

Answer 1

Use MAPIFolder.Items.Find/FindNext/Restrict.
