There are different search boxes in various views, so there are many ways to
conduct searches. Rather than trying to get troubleshooting information from
you, how about you read up on the problem for yourself. There is a lot of
information already documented you can consult, and instant search is
especially problematic on Windows XP. It works much better on Vista. Start

I asked you for the method you used to search. We aren't watching you and
you did not tell us.

Define what you mean by "no information whatsoever."

You are rude considering I told you everything I know. I did check the
indexing status at your kind suggestion and it reports it is INDEXED.
If
you
would be so gracious as to guide me as to what additional information
that
might help you and how I would find it.

Yours gratefully,

State
your search method. State the status of indexing for your Outlook data
file.

I'm either doing something really stupid or something is wrong with
my
Outlook 2007. When I type in a search entry into the box, it yields
0
results
even when I am typing in something I know exists. For example: In
the
expanded search, I type in a company name and nada.

What's up?
