Using Find in Outlook does not return all emails

When I use the Find feature in Outlook 2003 to search for my emails in the
Inbox, it will only return emails up to a certain date.  I cannot search the
emails I recently received.  If I do an advanced find, I am able to find what
I need, but this take more time and regualr find did work at one time.  Also,
if I delete the OST file (I am running in cache mode) and have it regenrate,
all the emails are searchable, but it fails again after a day or so.

Any ideas?  Should I install the new Windows Search?

As always thanks for your responses.

You've pointed out an Outlook annoyance.

I installed Windows Desktop Search and it is fast!  The only drawback is
that on my older laptop, the disk indexing can take a long time and
processor usage gets in the way.  But, it works extremely well.

So this is not uncommon?  Is it the size of my mailbox maybe?

It's just the way MS built Outlook.  Mailbox size doesn't matter.

So your thoughts are that Windows Desktop Search solve my issue, correct?
