So I don't think there is a good way for this to work with R&P, but you can access your inbox and folders and search through them via scripting and OleObject. 

 

If you're using JavaScript here is a little snippet that will search the specific inbox of an account for a subject that contains a specified search term.

 

function searchOutlook(accountName,searchTerm) {
 const outlook =  Sys.OleObject("Outlook.Application");
 const mapi = outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI");
 const inbox = mapi.Folders.Item(accountName);
 const messages = inbox.Folders.Item("Inbox");
 for(let i = 1; i < messages.Items.Count; i++) {
   if(messages.Items.Item(i).Subject.search(searchTerm) > -1) {
     Log.Message("Found Email At Position: " + i);
     messages.Items.Item(i).Display();
     break;
   }
 } 
}
