Thanks DL. But that is NOT what I was looking for. I already use WDS and X1.

In Vista you can search in a search field just above the start button for
programs/folders that appear in the start menu.
I need the same for Outlook navigation sidebar. The desktop search tools
have another use (mainly searching for messages and files).

There are a number of DeskTop search apps, Windows Desktop Search for one,
I use Copernic. They wont appear within OL, but will have a search pane in
your task bar

While setting up a new laptop for my daughter, I experienced a nice Vista
feature. There is a search field just above the Start button. Typing into
that search field will limit the shown choices for the start menu to the
items that match the search string.. as you type.

I am fond of a similar feature for the navigation pane in Outlook 2007,
since I have a lot of PST files with a lot of folders.

Anyone knows if there is something similar for OL2007?

I am not talking about the search within OL2007, nor WSS. People using
Vista will probably know what I mean.

Thanks for any pointer.

Dan
