Steve,

Just wondering, do you have windows desktop search installed? I don't know
if or how the search feature you're using in Outlook is connected to destop
search but windows desktop search has Microsoft office outlook as one of it's
indexing locations. It seems they are independant but perhaps they share some
technology. Anyway if you don't, or if you don't have the newest version you
might try it. It's useful even if it doesn't help this situation. They are up
to v3.01 now. you can find it he

Also if you had it, you could try going to the indexing options and then the
advanced tab. In the advanced tab is a troubleshooting option to re-index.

You may also be interested in http://www.ifilter.org/ so you can index more
types of files.

Russ,

thanks for the clarifications. I will switch to Vista anyway very soon
and will do a clean install. I got the CDs since May but still was to
busy to upgrade.

So we'll see whether it works any better with Vista.
In the meantime, I will use the Advanced Find feature.

Thanks again

Sincerely,
Steve JORDI
