I use the Advanced Find function quite frequently, and until recently have had no problems.  After upgrading to Yosemite (10.10) and updating Office 2011 for Mac, Outlook (14.4.5) has not functioned properly when attempting to use the Advance Find function.  When I select Command-Shift-F for Advance Find, the Advance Find field appears but the cursor returns to the standard Search field in the top right corner of the window.  I then have to move the cursor to the Advance Find field and click so that I can begin typing in the field. This may seem insignificant, but I process many emails and adding these steps to my process is extremely inefficient and clearly a bug in the software.  This function has performed as expected until the recent updates in Yosemite and Office 2011.

Microsoft, please fix this issue.

Thanks

Jonathan
