I use keywords located in the notes field in most of my contacts, but the
contacts search function does not list those contacts with the search criteria in the notes field. How can I add the notes field to the list of indexed or queried fields? Any help would be MOST appricaiated. |

Outlook 2007.
Advanced Find is very cumbersome, especially if you have to use it 50-100 times a day. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Post Outlook version.

Use it anyway. Instant Search doesn't work on the Notes field.
If you need information that frequently, you might want to consider a better place to store information than the Notes field. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Greg S" wrote in message ...

You are indicating the newest version of Outlook 2007 WILL NOT search the Notes field? WTF as my teenaged son would say. And your suggestion is "place the information somewhere else besides Notes"? Like some other contact management software? Search is THE most critical part of a contacts database. At this point I am syncing to my PDA and searching my contacts on Mobile 6 on the PDA. Can this be the way Microsoft wants it's applications to NOT work? What happened to making products people want to buy? Tom Fitzgibbon | Multidata | 212-967-6700 x8120 |

I have to disagree. I am running Outlook 2007 on Vista. Instant Search does
work on the Notes field. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Use it anyway. Instant Search doesn't work on the Notes field.

Sure, now and then. Not consistently for every user like it should.
