Russ, I'll give you more information. I reindexed my computer several times
using the link I gave you. I also saw that Outlook was being indexed - I
would do a Search and I would see that drop down yellow bar telling me I
might not see all the results because x number of items were being indexed.

Well, after I stopped seeing that message I naturally assumed Outlook was
finished with indexing itself.

I _still_ can receive 'hits' when Searching older Contact items (searching
for info in the Notes field of an Contact) but newer Contact don't show in
the results.

At this point I don't know how to proceed. Any suggestions? Thanks, DH

Expand your query. Do you see the Notes field? I doubt it.
Use Advanced Find.

Russ, I had this probelm before and did a google search. I came across
the following link ...
http://searchexchange.techtarget.com...256528,00.html
(which I had visited before when I had the same problem).

I followed _those_ instructions, waited until Outlook had completely
indexed everything and I _still_ can not have the Contact in question
show up in a Contact Search using a word which was entered in that
Contact Note's field.

Suggestions? Thanks, DH

State which search method you are using. State why you believe this new
Contact would have been indexed by the time you were searching for it.

Hi, I just entered a new Contact in Outlook 2007 and gave it a 'tag'
word in its own Notes field.

If I Search using that tag, I get nothing _except_ coincidentally for
another Contact that happens to have that word embedded in its last
name.

I thought Search (from within Contacts) would also look through the
infomation in Contact - Notes. Am I mistaken?

Thanks, DH
