Does 2007 use wildcards when searching so you can find any string of
characters in the subject? If you only know partially of what was on the
subject line then your out of luck.

No need to use wildcard; just type the string you do know.

That's the problem for example if I have 850.12345 as a document and need to
find it with Outlook 2000 I could type the any portion of the string and and
all possibles would show up. With 2007 I have to know exactly what I'm
looking for. I should be able to type 0.123 and get all matching records.
I've tried reindexing. Any suggestions, please?
