Frank,

It works perfectly if If I copy all the contacts to a pst file and use the
find. Coping it back to a new (and named differently) public folder does not
solve the problem. That is why I do not think it is corruption.

Hello,

I have the same problem (described in thread "not able to search public
contacts ...)
I think its caused by one or more corrupted Contacts. Does anyone know a
tool for verifying contacts?

Thanks,
Frank

when I try to find a contact it returns nothing. However, the
advanced
find
returns it just fine.

The contacts are in a public folder

I copied the contacts to a PST and the search works fine.

I copy some contacts into a new public folder and the find works
fine.
I copy all the contacts into a new PF and it finds nothing.
Any ideas?
