You can try rebuilding the Index. Beyond that, I know of no solutions.

Yes, I know. That's why I'm here. Instant Search works for me perfectly,
every time and all fields, including Notes. It doesn't work for my
husband.
I screwed up initially by installing an older office program after I had
installed Outlook 2007, and search wouldn't work at all. I fixed that,
but I
can't find a fix for my husband's problem...Outlook not searching the
Notes
field.

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

I have to disagree. I am running Outlook 2007 on Vista. Instant Search
does
work on the Notes field.

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.

Outlook 2007.

Advanced Find is very cumbersome, especially if you have to use it
50-100
times a day.

Post Outlook version.
Use Advanced Find.

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.
