SBS 2003 on server, Outlook 2003 on W2K computer. Search in contacts is SLOW
with almost 4000 names. However search is almost instantaneous using OWA on
the same computer. How can I make Outlook search as fast as OWA?

Or is that too much to ask Microsoft for?

Thanks

Because OWA uses the indexing service and outlook uses its own search
engine, its unlikely that outlook will ever be as fast. Outlook 2007 uses
the WDS and does find as fast as OWA.
