Default Instant Search not working and Outlook indexing never completes

I attempt to search for a particular Contact entry. A message is displayed
"Instant Search encountered a problem while trying to display search results.
Modifying your query may resolve this problem." I clicked OK on the message
box and a highlighted message appeared across the top of the Contacts pane
"Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed.
Click here for more details." When I click on the message, another info box
appears titled: "Outlook is currently indexing your items. Search results
may be incomplete because items are still being indexed" , "xxxx items
remaing in "Personal" folders" and "xxxx items remaining across all open
mailboxes". The xxxx is a number that is always different each time I look
at it (sometimes a large number, sometimes small), but never zero, and never
trending in one direction or another...almost like the indexing process is in
an unending loop that never comes to completion. When I click START, then
CONTROL PANEL, then INDEXING OPTIONS, it says Indexing is not running. I
have XP on my laptop, I'm running Outlook 2007. Help please.
