Default no search results on Contacts, Outlook 2007 with OS Vista

Does anybody know why? Outlook 2007 with OS XP no problem, but with my newly
bought Vista machine, I could not search with contacts.

Thank you very much.

No. Can you provide any information on your Indexing Status and its
settings? You provided no troubleshooting information.

Hi Russ,
Indexing Status
Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed.
91 items remainng in "Personal Folders"
91 items remaining across all open mailboxes.

That was what it said. Just now I have updated to Office Service Pack 1,
still could not search. I have tried to uninstall the Office and reinstall
again, but did not solve the problem. Just don't know why. Thank you for
any help.

No wonder. Sounds like you're overdue to rebuild your index.

Default no search results on Contacts, Outlook 2007 with OS Vista

Hi Russ,
Thank you for your advise but after follow the instruction on fixing instant
search from your link. Rebuild entire index and status to 0 and the instant
search still does not work. Would my Office 2007 Professional Plus not
competible with Windows Vista? Would my search function not working? Any
my other machine using XP work fine with search on the outlook.pst file.
Please advise.

Thank you in advance.

Assuming you have tried every troubleshooting suggestion on that site, I
have no other suggestions. Feature has always worked fine for me and has
seemed to work fine for everyone who has successfully rebuilt their index.
It actually works better on Vista than on XP.

Default no search results on Contacts, Outlook 2007 with OS Vista

I am not sure that my problem’s the same. I use Outlook 2007 under Vista.
My contacts are in different sub-folders (all under contacts – say, contacts
1, contacts 2, …). When I search using the “search box” in the standard
toolbar, I find them all, but when I use “advanced find” I can only find
what’s in contacts, but not the contacts in the sub-folders. In the previous
version (2003 under XP) I was able to find all contacts via “advanced find”
including the ones in the sub-folders.
Thanks in advance,
Ronie.

I have the same problem also, running 2007 on Vista.
using search Address books - no problem, use quick search bar and get
message "Outlook is currently Indexing your items
Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed.
9433 items remainng in "Personal Folders"
10169 items remaining across all open mailboxes.

It would seem there is a real problem here, I have tried to use indexing
functions from Control panel but to no avail. Need some help from microsoft
please.

Microsoft doesn't monitor or reply to these groups. Did you try the usual
solutions that have been posted here many times?
