How to Remove "Click here to turn on Instant Search" Warning Message from Microsoft Outlook

In Microsoft Outlook I had been seeing a warning that was always taking up screen space that read "Click here to turn on Instant Search". I found that I could install/enable the "Windows Search" service, but understanding that it may slow my system down at times, and not necessarily wanting/needing it, I preferred to remove the warning message, instead.


See full details below on how to remove this warning message from Outlook

To remove the warning message from Outlook, I followed the below steps, 2 through 4, from http://smallbusiness.chron.com/disable-quick-outlook-72462.html, found under the Outlook section of the page:

Step 2
Click the "Search" tab on the Search Tools ribbon on the command ribbon. Click "Search Tools" in the Options group, and then select "Search Options" to open the Outlook Options window.

Step 3
Click “Search” in the sidebar to display the pane with Instant Search options. Click to remove the tick from “Show Prompt to enable Instant Search” in the Sources section. Click “OK" and close the Outlook program.

Step 4
Open the Outlook program and click inside the “Instant Search” bar. The message prompt no longer displays “Click here to turn on Instant Search.”

*Note that this worked for my current version of Outlook, which is Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus, Version 15.0.4737.1003. (I used the info from this link to determine my Outlook version: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/What-version-of-Office-am-I-using-932788b8-a3ce-44bf-bb09-e334518b8b19?sxpredir=true&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US)

Homemade Get Well Card

I figured this would be a good way to save the precious memory of a lovely card from my sweet daughter (and not feel bad about throwing it out). It was from several weeks back from when I had my wisdom teeth removed.

Follow up, Follow-up, or Followup - Which is Correct?

I've been wanting to follow up on the follow-up I've been intending to do to figure out which of these three ways of writing this word/words is correct.  (Hint: I used them correctly in the preceding sentence.)
- follow up
- follow-up
- followup

I searched and found the following link that explains it all quite simply:
Follow Up, Follow-Up, or Followup

The short of it is that "follow up" is a verb and "follow-up" is a noun or an adjective, and "followup" is not a proper or valid way to write it.

A simple rule for knowing which to use, is if you can use the word the in front of it, then it should be follow-up (with a dash).  Otherwise, without the in front of it, it should be follow up (with a space).

My Wish List

I found that you can easily make your own wish list on Amazon.com, and I went ahead and made a quick one for myself.



Our project bulb seems to have gone bad, so it's probably just time for a new projector, since the bulbs themselves are very expensive. However, at this point, I'm not planning buying another one. And, I didn't do any research on which one I would want if I were to buy one. The one I added to my wish list is just one I added for the sake of showing my interest in projector.

I am planning on getting a new digital camera at some point, probably a little later on, but I'll want to research my choice at that time.

I'm NOT asking anyone to buy me anything, and I'm not really interested in that. But, I thought the Amazonwish list was pretty cool and easy, and I wanted to share it. Maybe you should make your own wish list to share with others.
