Show full conversation in search folders?

I want to create search folders that search for emails that have a category assigned, for example. And for every email that has that category found, I want to show the whole conversation in the search folder's view. Basically, I want to be able to search for something within a conversation instead of within an email.

Well, although there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in 2007, 2010 does seem to support this, and it doesn't have to be a search folder. Conversation Settings includes a "Show Messages from other folders" option that is wonderful.

"Right click on Search Folders and select New Search Folder....
In the New Search Folder window scroll down to select Categorized mail then click the Choose button to select the category you want to search (or multiple categories).

Then all you have to do is to customize current view in the new created search folder - right click on the header and select ""Conversation"" (or go to View | Current View | Conversation)

Let us know if this is what you needed."
