When I first encountered this problem a few weeks ago, I would get the same
error message despite using a few different search perameters in Advanced
Find. After reading your post, I went back to refresh myself as to what
happened so I could properly advise you and, when I did a search through
Advanced Find, it worked. Searching by using the Look For on the tool bar
still will not work but I can live with that. Thanks for your time. If you
have any ideas as to why the tool bar search will not work, I would
appreciate hearing them. Thanks.

Too many possibilities for us to answer. What happens if you use Advanced
Find and target the correct folder?

I use Outlook 2003 and have several subfolders of contacts. When I search
for a contact using "Look For" on the Find toolbar, I get the message "No
Items Found" even though the contact exists. I have tried a variety of
search methods to no avail. Does anyone know why this is happening and
how I
can fix it? Thanks.
