The Create Filtered Search Folder command creates an Outlook Search Folder that can be used to apply Categorize Plus Filter Combo Boxes across multiple folders within a single Outlook store.  This is done by creating an Outlook Search Folder that searches for all Outlook items contained in selected folders.  Once the search finds all of the items, then Filter Combo Boxes can be added to the Categorize Plus Toolbar to filter the items displayed in the Search Folder.  The end result is that Categorizes Plus Filter Combo Boxes can be used to filter Outlook items across multiple folders.  The two illustrations below provide step-by-step instructions that explain how to use the Filtered Search Folder dialog to create a Filtered Search Folder.  For more information regarding how to use Search Folders in Outlook, then please refer to the Outlook Search Folders help topic.
