Outlook 365 Search in specific folders

Question

I want to ask a similar question like this one, but for newer Outlook versions.

Within an email account, I can search for specific messages which are in the folder with the name "folder name" with this command: folder:[folder name] received:this year

For example, if the folder name is "Sent", then the search text is folder:Sent received:this year

Now, I want to seach in the folders "Sent" and "Spam" at the same time with the same "received" criteria. What do I need to type into the search bar?

use OR

example:
folder:[folder_name_1] OR folder:[folder_name_2] OR folder:[folder_name_3] OR folder:[folder_name_4] received:this year

According to my research and test, this may not be able to achieve now. Yo you can use Ctrl + Shift + F to use Advanced Find as a workaround.
