MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2006Why can't I find a contact through search?
We can find a contact when we search by name, but why can't we find them when we search by company? To what search function are you referring and in what version of Outlook?

We're using Outlook 2003 and I'm referring to the "Find a Contact" box in the standard toolbar. We have set up Outlook so it should look in Contacts first before it looks in the address book. > To what search function are you referring and in what version of Outlook? > > We can find a contact when we search by name, but why can't we find them > > when > > we search by company? Well that's an odd thing to say. There is no address book in Outlook. All searches are conducted in Contact Folders. The "Find a Contact" box does not search the Company field. It uses Name fields. You should be using Advanced Find.
