MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2008no search results on Contacts, Outlook 2007 with OS Vista
Does anybody know why? Outlook 2007 with OS XP no problem, but with my newly bought Vista machine, I could not search with contacts. Thank you very much. Henry No. Can you provide any information on your Indexing Status and its settings? You provided no troubleshooting information.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Does anybody know why?

That was what it said. Just now I have updated to Office Service Pack 1, still could not search. I have tried to uninstall the Office and reinstall again, but did not solve the problem. Just don't know why. Thank you for any help. Henry > No. Can you provide any information on your Indexing Status and its > settings? You provided no troubleshooting information.

Rebuild entire index and status to 0 and the instant search still does not work. Would my Office 2007 Professional Plus not competible with Windows Vista? Would my search function not working? Any my other machine using XP work fine with search on the outlook.pst file. Please advise. Thank you in advance. Henry > No wonder.

Feature has always worked fine for me and has seemed to work fine for everyone who has successfully rebuilt their index. It actually works better on Vista than on XP.

I given the index services weeks to complete its indexing. I need carefully go thru your suggestions, but skimming they are all things that I have previous tried on my on.

I use Outlook 2007 under Vista. My contacts are in different sub-folders (all under contacts – say, contacts 1, contacts 2, …). When I search using the “search box” in the standard toolbar, I find them all, but when I use “advanced find” I can only find what’s in contacts, but not the contacts in the sub-folders. In the previous version (2003 under XP) I was able to find all contacts via “advanced find” including the ones in the sub-folders. Thanks in advance, Ronie. > Does anybody know why?
