Outlook keyboard search delay setting?

Question

With the contact folder sorted as file-as, normally if I type in for example "MCBRIDE", if I type fast enough I get to the first occurrence in sort order of that contact name.

But if I take my time between typing in letters, it brings me to the letter I typed in after a certain delay.  For example on a pause after typing "Mc" then typing in "Br" I get to the first occurrence of "Br" instead.

So I was wondering if there is a setting somewhere that controls the delay for the outlook user somewhere for this at all and whether it's changeable.

Answer 1

Sorry, there's no such setting.  FYI, this forum is for programming questions only.

Answer 2

I thought there could be a setting that is programmatically set possibly.  Oh well I guess that quickly answers my boss' question though he doesn't easily take "no" for an answer.

Answer 3

Well, tell him it's possible.  I'd just have to convince the Outlook team to make this configurable in Outlook 2015 or whatever.  ;-)
