When you do a search in oulook for contacts, what is the criteria that
outlook searches? Or I guess how does outlook search? Why is it not
consistant? The reason I am asking is that we have our customers
contacts in public folders. In our customers we have 6 contacts for XYZ
Foods. If you search in outlook for just "XYZ" it only comes back with
4 of the six. If you do a search for "XYZ Foods" it returns with all 6.
And if you just entered "Foods" no contacts were found. And we actually
have a few companies in our contacts who's names are a two part name
ending with the word food. Lets say XYZ Foods, ABC Foods and DEF Foods.
If I do a search for "foods" shouldnt it come back with all the
contacts for all the companies who's names have the keyword Food in
it? After a little resarch I found that the 2 that was not found when
you do a search for just "XYZ" did not have any email address in the
contact information. Is outlook only searching email address
information? If so why is it when you enter a partial name it only
comes back with a few contacts and if you enter in a different part of
the name it dosent return any?
