Correcting indexing problems

Our search facility in Outlook 2007 is always reporting that there are
unindexed items.  The number of unindexed items remains around 4,400.  We
suspect it is on account of an Outlook .PST file that we routinely copy and
bring from our office in order to have access to our contacts and archived
messages at home.  We suspect this because any search of the office .PST
database at home results in the warning that all items have not been
indexed.

Is there any way to manually start or force an indexing operation for this
specific Outlook .PST file immediately after it is copied to our home
computer?  Hopefully, this would provide us with a properly updated index
upon performing any searches on this database at home.  Thank you for any
help.

AFAIK; you cannot force the Indexer. Connecting to it, and leaving the
computer idle while getting a coffee should get the Indexer started pretty
quick and depending on the pst-file size, get everything indexed.
