Sub SearchInboxFolder()
'Searches the Inbox

    Dim objSch As Search
    Const strF As String = _
        "urn:schemas:mailheader:subject = 'Office Christmas Party'"
    Const strS As String = "Inbox"
    Const strTag As String = "SubjectSearch"
    Set objSch = Application.AdvancedSearch(Scope:=strS, _
        Filter:=strF, SearchSubFolders:=True, Tag:=strTag)

End Sub

The AdvancedSearchComplete event is used to capture the results of the search.

Private Sub Application_AdvancedSearchComplete(ByVal SearchObject As Search)

    Dim objRsts As Results
    MsgBox "The search " & SearchObject.Tag & _
        "has completed. The scope of the search was " & _
        SearchObject.Scope & "."
    Set objRsts = SearchObject.Results
    'Print out number in results collection
    Debug.Print objRsts.Count
    'Print out each member of results collection
    For Each Item In objRsts
        Debug.Print Item
    Next

End Sub
