    What forum should I post the following question:

    Advanced Query Syntax - exclude emails

    I have tried numerous combinations of kind: store: NOT etc. without success. All search results as mostly outlook e-mails, which because of their huge number, completely obscure the real results. What should my query look like. I prefer not to use natural language unless that is the only way.

    Thank you for trying to help. I am sorry my question was not clear. I am using the search box that appears when you click the Windows button on the left end of the task bar. I am trying to Avoid getting any Outlook results, using AQS, so asking IN an Outlook or Exchange forum would not be appropriate. Nevertheless I asked in the suggested Outlook forum, and was redirected to Windows Server forum, which also seems inappropriate, since my query is on a desktop machine and does not seek data from servers. I read up on Advanced Query Syntax in various Web sites, including the suggested one, but none of that worked, which is the reason I decided to ask. I have come to the conclusion that AQS is simply broken on my machine.

    I found the "answer" on one of those links. Basically, AQS does not work as advertised on Windows 7.
