Can not find contacts
when I try to find a contact it returns nothing. However, the advanced find
returns it just fine. The contacts are in a public folder I copied the contacts to a PST and the search works fine. I copy some contacts into a new public folder and the find works fine. I copy all the contacts into a new PF and it finds nothing. Any ideas?

Can not find contacts
Hello,
I have the same problem (described in thread "not able to search public contacts ...) I think its caused by one or more corrupted Contacts. Does anyone know a tool for verifying contacts?

Can not find contacts
Frank,
It works perfectly if If I copy all the contacts to a pst file and use the find. Coping it back to a new (and named differently) public folder does not solve the problem. That is why I do not think it is corruption. "Frank" wrote: Hello, I have the same problem (described in thread "not able to search public contacts ...)

Can not find contacts
Hello, I have this same problem.
We have some public folder contacts that will find perfectly find. But one particular public folder contacts folder will not find anything unless you use the advanced find. Copying the public folder contacts to your mailbox (online) or pst fixes it. But, if you move the "working" contacts folder from your mailbox of pst back to the Public folder, it stops working again. It must be something in the public folder itself - or in the views. HELP! MG2 "Joel_B" wrote: Ben, I still have no answer to this. If you get a solution, please let me know.
