Why can't I search by phone number in Outlook 2003 contacts no
I have same problem.
Also, using advanced search to find all contacts using a specific "business phone number" yielded no results, when there are in fact two contacts (at least) in contacts. I had cut and pasted the business phone number from the business phone field and entered it into the appropriate "business phone number" field.

I use to be able to type a phone number or any word now that I think of it and it would find that contact.....it could have been a word in the note field or anything. Now I can only find the name field....either first or last. thanks, Russ

Works fine for everyone else. Ensure that your address book service is
installed and functioning properly. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "DCDuring" wrote in message news  I have same problem.

I changed nothing whatsoever and it works now.
However, in one of the two contacts resulting from the (now) successful query, the phone number and email address show up only when I click on the fields and disappear when I click on the other entry.

Not sure I'm following what you're saying. In what view are these numbers
disappearing? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "DCDuring" wrote in message ... I changed nothing whatsoever and it works now.

Why can't I search by phone number in Outlook 2003 contacts no
Actually, no...
I've had several users at more than one of my client sites report the same thing. When they'd miss a call, they'd simply take the last 4 digits (or sometimes the whole thing) from the caller ID and paste them into Find and within seconds know who it was that called and have their relavent info up. This feature seems to have suddenly gone away (though we did recently upgrade our Exchange Server to 2003 SP1). It can't possibly be "user error", as they're doing the same exact thing they've always done - just getting different results. Plus, it's pretty hard to screw up Find. And what's really strange is that it'll search some clients but not others. I've found no correlation between which phone number field the number is stored in. Anyone have any ideas? -=Andrei "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Works fine for everyone else.
