Default [OL2007] - How to search for contacts with specific emails? -

Hi,

[WinXP Pro SP2 / Outlook 2007 / No other MS Office apps]

I'm trying to search for all my contacts that have, say, an email
address containing "gmail".

I go to Contacts:
Then in the Instant Search I show the query builder so it displays
some additional field criterias.

In the "E-mail" field, I type in "gmail" (without the quotes)

It always returns "0 occurences" when I have plenty of them.

Should I use something like wildcards? I tried with "*" but nothing
works.

What is strange is that it looks like it looking up only emails
addresses STARTING with "g", then "gm", etc...

When I type in "g", it shows me contacts whose address emails are
starting by a "g" (the firstname, not the domain or anything in the
middle of the address").
So it shows "Georges@...", "Gael@...", etc.
As soon as I add the "m" of "gmail", then I have no occurences because
no-one is named "gm*".

Any clue on how to fix this?

I tried all the suggestions to "fix the search" bug in Outlook 2007,
reindexed everything, etc... but nothing helps.

Thanks for any help.

Sincerely,
Steve JORDI
