Microsoft boggles me.
They somehow left the <ctrl> F find feature out of the New Outlook.
So you can no longer search through an email with 100 addresses to see if Bob was included. Nor any other text search that every basic program since 1983 has been doing.
Here's an official response from the Microsoft forum, that completely misses the point, with the standard user frustration.

Hi,
I'm trying New Outlook, I would like to search inside an email for text, and also search for emails in the inbox.
I cant see any way of doing these functions.
Control-F does nothing.
Can you help please ?!

Thank you for posting to the Microsoft community.
It seems that you wanted to know how to use Find me in searching Emails inside the Inbox or email.
We understand the importance of this case to be addressed. Allow us to check on this and we’ll assist you in the best way we can.
According to what I have researched the “Find Related: Messages in this conversation” feature is missing in the new Outlook. Many users have reported this issue and requested Microsoft to bring it back. However, there is no official response or solution from Microsoft yet.
As a workaround, you can try to use the “View email messages by conversation” feature, which allows you to group and view all messages in the same thread with the same subject line2. To do this, you need to:
Go to the View tab and select Show as Conversations in the Arrangement group.
Choose All Folders or This Folder.
Click the arrow next to the conversation header to expand or collapse the conversation.
You can also customize the conversation settings by clicking Conversation Settings in the View tab.
