Default find by domain name

Perhaps I'm just being lazy here... I'm looking to send an email to a
particular person at a company, but can't remember their name. They are in
my address book so I could go look them up. However, if I use the "select
names" or the advanced find it doesn't bring them up.

In my particular instance I have multiple folks at the 'Northwind' company.
I'm using the 'company name (contact)' display name. I also have 'Northwind
Customer Support'. If I search in "more columns" or via 'advanced find' I
only see the customer support contact.

Default find by domain name

State your Outlook Version.
State how you constructed your search.
Verify that the folder in which these Contacts reside has been enabled for
inclusion in the Outlook Address Book Service.

No wonder. The address book view is not intended for conducting searches.
Use either Instant Search or Advanced Find in the relevant Contacts Folder.

Sorry about that! Outlook 2007. I opened a new message, click 'to',
select
to search more columns, then select the approprite address book (local or
specific public folder) then entered "northwind" or "northwind.com" (if
searching for ). Either way I don't get any to show
up.
