Oh, I am not a lazy as you think. I have been to that article and done
everything it said to do. I have searched the forums and saw little help
there. I have also reinsterted the original disk and did a repair on
Office.

I have used MS and PC machines for 20 years. When things work, they work
great. When they don't, well, let's just say it shouldn't be that
complicated. I've done everything from programming to being our in-house
computer guru.

So, I am going to try an iMac and see if I remain "stupid." Since Mac has
suddenly gone from 2-3% market share to 8%, maybe the tide is turning. I
have
many friends who have switched and have been encouraging me to do the
same.

Have a nice life, Russ, and if you don't know squat about something, just
say so next time.

There are different search boxes in various views, so there are many ways

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.

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?
