I have office 2007, and I tried installing the "Instant Search", which
is really just windows Desktop search, and it totally screwed up my
computer.

It took me a few hours and a couple trips in safe mode to remove it.

So now I have the "Click here to enable Instant Search" wasting space
on my screen.

Is there no way to remove this??

Did you connect a Sharepoint library or list to Microsoft Office?

Same here although in my case I just found it in add/remove programs and it
went away painlessly

Whoever put "Click Here to enable Instant Search" in Outlook without a
painless way to remove it should lose their job.

Nope. I didn't do anything other than upgrade from my old version of
outlook 2003 to the new version and install the windows desktop search.

Thats as far as I got.

From the menu select Tools Options... 'Other' Tab Under General
Settings 'Show prompts to enable Instant Search'

Disable Instant Search

To not get prompted to download the Windows Desktop Search component, do the
following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click Other, and then click Advanced Options.
3. Under General settings, clear the Show prompts to enable Instant
Search check box.

Note This check box does not appear if your computer runs Windows
Vista or if your computer runs Microsoft Windows XP and you have already
installed the Windows Desktop Search component.

To disable Instant Search if the Windows Desktop Search components are
already installed on your computer, clear the check boxes under Index
messages in these data files in the Search Options dialog box. For more
information, see Change the Instant Search options. Clearing the check boxes
disables search functionality, but does not remove the Instant Search pane.

Important Disabling Instant Search prevents you from using the Windows
Desktop Search query syntax. You can, however, use Advanced Find as in
earlier versions of Outlook. To use Advanced Find, on the Tools menu, point
to Instant Search, and then click Advanced Find, or just press CTRL+SHIFT+F.

Thanks!

I was finally able to get rid of that!

I'll just use google desktop. It works great and doesn't crash my
computer like Windows Desktop Search.

This goes to show exactly how unwieldy Office options are. Trying to find
the option you want is a complete nightmare and the manus are not much better.

MS: sort them out so they're useable!
While you're there, why not just have a shortcut to your search instead of
another 'feature' that's wanted by few, used by less and needed by none.
