I have several search folders setup to show unread email messages. When setting up the different search folders, I selected the folders I want searched for each different search folder, I deselected "Search subfolders". Problem is, several of the different search folders are showing results that are in folders that aren't listed in the "Searching in X folder(s):" section. Any idea what would cause this behavior and how to fix it? 

Hi,

How do you search your Search Folders?

Generally, there is no Subfolders option when searching the Search Folders:

Please select Current Folder and do the search to check the search results.

Regards,

I'm talking about Search Folders, NOT search in general. This behavior is what the folders are doing, e.g. I click on the search folder, and the results are wrong.

Hi,

I didn't see this image when configure a Search Folder. What is your Outlook version and please also provide your process steps for us to reproduce the issue.
