I have a user who is using Outlook 2002 SP-2. He has over 1500 contacts
in his Contacts folder. I exported his contacts to a .pst file and
imported the file to my computer for testing.

Here's the problem: Most of the time when I type in a name in the
search box it returns the appropriate results. But sometimes when I
type in a name it doesn't find any of the contacts, even though they're
listed right there in front of me!

For example, I can search for "Mark" and it brings up the "Choose
Contact" window and lists 15 different people with the name "Mark"
(which is the desired result I want). However, if I search for "Mike"
it brings up the "Check Names" window and lists all the Mikes in the
Global Address List. It doesn't find any of the 40+ Mikes in the
Contacs folder.

I tried this on two different computers, one running Outlook 2002 and
one running Outlook 2003 and I get the same problem.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.
