i am trying to use search folders to consolidate all outlook items with the
same category, however search only finds messages. i need to find tasks,
journal entries, etc. this functionality is already in advanced find, why not
search folders? seems simple enough!
 
The UI for search folders only supports email items and folders. You can
create a search folder for Outlook 2003 that handles multiple item types but
you have to do it using custom code. See
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;817890 for more
information and a code sample of creating a search folder.

If you create one for different item types make sure you only use filter
properties that are available in all the types you are including in the
search folder.
