MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2008search of outlook contacts does not retreive contacts containing s
my new computer with vista home premium has outlook 2007. in contacts of outlook, searching for specific name or word, used to retrieve the contacts that contained the date being search for. this feature was working for about a couple of weeks, and for some reason it stopped retreiving contacts that are known to contain those search words; it brings out very few. i am completely surprised by my treatment from dell, i feel i spent a lot of money for a desktop, did not tell me there is no warranty for my outlook program and now they want to charge me about $200 to resolve 4 problems with outlook program that i paid $149 for. amazing. please comment if you know how I may solve my searching and retreiving contacts. thanks > my new computer with vista home premium has outlook 2007. in contacts of > outlook, searching for specific name or word, used to retrieve the contacts [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > stopped retreiving contacts that are known to contain those search words; it > brings out very few. correcting the spelling of previsouly written note: > my new computer with vista home premium has outlook 2007. in contacts of > outlook, searching for specific name or word, used to retrieve all of the contacts > that contained those search word or names. now it does not. i do not recall having changed anything in the settings !!! > my new computer with vista home premium has outlook 2007. in contacts of > outlook, searching for specific name or word, used to retrieve the contacts [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > stopped retreiving contacts that are known to contain those search words; it > brings out very few. > my new computer with vista home premium has outlook 2007. in > contacts of outlook, searching for specific name or word, used to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > reason it stopped retreiving contacts that are known to contain those > search words; it brings out very few. You'll have to be more specific. Describe EXACTLY how you're trying to perform this search and what happens at each step of the process. Also state where in the contact form the data resides.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] in my outlook 2007, in contacts, on the bar right above the contact cards right hand side, there is a search box (not all the way up on the page, there is another one there) the search bos has a magnifying glass inside with a down arrow, where if you puch on the arrow a drop down menu comes up with : recent serches, search all outlook items, search desktop, indexing statusm, search options, and help. when i type in a name or a word (which I know I have, some words many of them) I use to be able to immediately start getting those conacts. now i dont get any result or outlook having retreived any contacts > > my new computer with vista home premium has outlook 2007. in > > contacts of outlook, searching for specific name or word, used to [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > perform this search and what happens at each step of the process.

Have you tried the Advanced Find? SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I am having the exact same problem. it worked before, now it has stopped. i ran the Office diagnostics without any change. pjl > > in my outlook 2007, in contacts, on the bar right above the contact > > cards right hand side, there is a search box (not all the way up on [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Are you sure Instant Search has finished indexing your data?

Using the advanced options brings up a box i don't remember seeing before. it has nothing to do with contacts and i can't change search all contacts to a specific contact folder. pjl > > in my outlook 2007, in contacts, on the bar right above the contact > > cards right hand side, there is a search box (not all the way up on [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Are you sure Instant Search has finished indexing your data?

I think this is such a bunch of BS from microsoft. ridiculous to think that I have to pay $49 to microsoft to find out how this works. > > in my outlook 2007, in contacts, on the bar right above the contact > > cards right hand side, there is a search box (not all the way up on [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Are you sure Instant Search has finished indexing your data?

Windows Vista comes with an application called Windows Desktop Search integrated into Windows. It was available for download for Windows XP, I believe. The default behavior for the application is to index the files on your hard drive and the items in your Outlook data sore so that searching is performed more quickly. There should be an icon for search in the Notification Area of your Taskbar. You can check the status of the indexing with that icon. See Help in Windows for more information. > do you work for microsoft or are you just a good citizen helping out > on the net? It is rare in the extreme for Microsoft people to visit this newsgroup, so, no, I don't work for Microsoft. > I think this is such a bunch of BS from microsoft. ridiculous to > think that I have to pay $49 to microsoft to find out how this works. Use Help, Google, and the Microsoft Vista web site. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
