You can choose what to search for, or click on the arrow on the right to expand your search.
Expanding your search allows you to search in any field:
You can choose to search by the sender, the subject, the body of the email or any other Outlook field.
But ... there's no option to search through your deleted items! I only realised today that this wasn't the default.
