When I search for a 2 character word it just says no results, if I add another (longer) word to the search, the search is only performed for that second word. I understand the reasoning why 2 character words would normally be excluded, but is there any way I can search for one? I can't find any info on how to do this.

Chosen solution

It works with the Quick Filter Bar (Ctrl+Shift+K) if you click the Body button. This is for a specific folder, although you can do the same for a folder and its subfolders starting from Edit/Find/Search Messages (Ctrl+Shift+F). Ctrl+F searches a message for text strings and highlights results.
