Advanced Find in Outlook 2003

Is there a way to change the order in which the Advanced Find feature searches through your emails?

I have a user who searched a particular phrase in Subject and Body, and it was taking a long time to search. The first item that comes up is the oldest one, and they get newer and newer. Is there a way to get it to start searching newer items first and work its way back?

I have shown him a way around it by using the Advanced search tab and limiting the time frame, but these are extra steps that I would like for him to avoid. He said it used to work that way until we recently rebuilt our exchange server due to a bad server crash.

Thanks!
