MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Instant Search Doesn't Work
My Outlook 2007 instant search has stopped working. It doesn't return any results no matter what words I enter and even if I search all folders. Desktop search doesn't find any emails, either. Any ideas?  SignatureCharlie Sounds more like a Vista question than Outlook. Check your Indexing settings. > My Outlook 2007 instant search has stopped working.

My instant search only works if I uncheck all the boxes under the heading "Index messages in this data files." This is exactly the opposite of what it should be. Do other people experience this?

My instant search isn't working for Outlook 2003 on my 3 Terminal Servers and also a few Outlook 2007 PCs running Vista and Windows XP. I can't find a work-around for the Outlook 2003. Does anyone have an answer? Did Microsoft release an update that triggered the search to stop working? > After doing everything MS and others suggested over the last few hours mpb's > solution worked for me too. Unbelievable!

Oddly, I have 2 vista machines running MSO2007, both with identical addins (Google Desktop Search & OsaSync, latter syncing cal/contacts only) - the Vista 64 bit system had the search-gone-blind issue but the Vista 32 did not.

Instant search in both email folders and contacts stopped working days ago and doesn't pick up obvious matches. Dumb question: How do I create a new profile? > Symptom: Instant search fails > OS Vista Ultimate [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > > Any ideas? Hi. How do I create a new profile? I'm having the same problem and it's really frustrating. Instant search in both contacts and email stopped working a week ago. > Symptom: Instant search fails > OS Vista Ultimate [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > > Any ideas? > Hi.
