Default Outlook 2007 Instant Search Doesn't Work

No matter what I try, no results are returned. I followed a microsoft
help document about re-building the indexes but still nothing. I'm
using the very latest Windows Desktop 3.0 Search engine release, and
Office 2007 Pro Plus.

Any ideas?

This is Office 2007 RTM/Final?
Have you left Outlook open over night already?

Default Outlook 2007 Instant Search Doesn't Work

I am having the same issue. I have left Outlook running overnight. I have
rebuilt index. Outlook displayed a number of items left to index etc, and
later, it said "Finished, " and showed 0 new items. So that looked like it
ran. I am having the same issue. I have left Oultook running overnight. I

In the Indexing options, Selections shows Microsoft Outlook, "Included
Locations."

What is the deal?

Default Outlook 2007 Instant Search Doesn't Work

Vista Enterprise - final (we have SA) and Office 2007 Professional Plus.

I relocated the index file through the control panel applet and it works now.

When I examined the folders with the indexing files in them yesterday I
noticed something weird. A file called schema.txt, in the search|data|config
folder had lines for contacts - column name=System.Contact. etc- and so
forth, and many entries for for document, media, photo....no entries for
anything that appeared to be email messages. This morning, this file, in the
new location, newly generated I suppose, has several system.message lines.

Default Outlook 2007 Instant Search Doesn't Work

I am using Vista Ultimate RTM and Office Pro 2007 RTM. I also relocated the
index file like Christy did, but the instant search stays unwilling in
finding mail and contact items. I also have rebuilded the index which took 4
hours.

Default Outlook 2007 Instant Search Doesn't Work


I've been banging my head against the wall on this one, too: running
Vista Business, Office 2007 Ultimate. It works on one machine, doesn't
on another.

One thing to try: searching for Outlook items works well from the
desktop instant search (or the ToolsInstant SearchSearch Desktop menu
item in Outlook). Searching from the "Search All Outlook Items" bar at
the top of the email list doesn't work. This suggests a problem within
Outlook, versus the indexing service or its index.

Does the desktop instant search work for you, i.e. does it find Outlook
items?

Default Outlook 2007 Instant Search Doesn't Work

I'm have the same issue as well. Here is my configuration.

Outlook 2007 Ent.
Windows XP SP2

In some instances I thought that it was my profile. It seems to work when I
removed certain add-ins and then restarted Outlook, but after a few minutes
it would go back to showing nothing.

So far I have deleted my ost file, recreated my profile and removed all
third party add-ins. I also turned off cache mode thinking that may have
something to do with it as well. I've also resintalled Windows Desktop
Search about 5 times now and reindexed.

I'm really missing my Lookout 2.0 at this point. Anyone have any ideas?

Default Outlook 2007 Instant Search Doesn't Work

I fixed mine by doing two things, not scientific, doing only one may have worked.

I unchecked Outlook Express. (Maybe it only likes one email client) (It search OE fine by the way)
I ran the repair option for Office 2007 in add remove programs. (I installed search after Outlook prompted me on its first use,
maybe Search should be installed first)
