Outlook has a number of powerful search/find features, one of them being the Address Book Find Items. Is there any way to create an Office Bar shortcut, or even Outlook Toolbar button to invoke this functionality?

The shortcut is => (Ctrl+Shift+F), but this only works as I wish if the Address Book is open; otherwise it opens up the Outlook Advanced Find feature (which is great, and I've made this an Office Bar shortcut).

Sorry, I know about that 'Advanced Find', ... I'm looking for a way to shortcut to the "Address Book Find Items". It allows you to look by First Name, Last Name, Company, Title, etc., from whatever Address Book you choose (Global Address List, any Contacts, etc.). To see what I mean invoke your Address Book, then Tools ... then Find [ - - ].

I'm sorry, perhaps I was not clear. I already have that shortcut. I want to directly access the Find feature you get via Tools :: Find *after* you open up your Address Book. This Find has the following categories which you can search by on the General tab ==> Display name, First Name, Last name, Title, Alias name, Company, Department, Office and City.

I haven't found a way to do exactly that, but using Advanced Find, you can use it to search Contacts in the Look For...dropdown.
