Re: search feature does not work in outlook 2007

Your Outlook data files aren't on another drive are they? One user had the same issue as you and it turned out he needed to index his other drive.

Go into Advanced in Indexing Options in Control Panel to rebuild or change the location of the Index.

Hi Bill,

I have checked that the correct data file is being indexed and that tohers are specifically not.

How do I go about rebuilding the index?

Do I have control where the index is stored?

Thanks,

Nigel

Check Indexing Options in Control panel and ensure you are indexing the Outlook data file you are searching. You might need to rebuild the Index.

Hi,

I am not getting worthwhile results using Microsofts inbuilt search engine. I am running office 2007 in Vista with all latest updates applied.

I am trying to perform a search of my contacts. I have tried searching for details which are in the name of the contact and details that are known and I get no results found.

If I revert to the desktop the records I am looking for are listed!

Any suggestions?

Thans for any help with this,

Nigel
