Does anybody know why? Outlook 2007 with OS XP no problem, but with my newly

No. Can you provide any information on your Indexing Status and its
settings? You provided no troubleshooting information. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Omitofo" wrote in message ... 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. Henry |

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. Henry "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: No. Can you provide any information on your Indexing Status and its settings?

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

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. Henry "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: No wonder.

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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Omitofo" wrote in message ...

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. "Omitofo" wrote: Does anybody know why?

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? http://www.msoutlook.info/question/47 -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Laurier" wrote in message ...
