Default Advanced Find, Instant Search and Indexing

1) I just transferred my PST file to a new computer, but there are
still 65000 items left to index, so the instant search says it won't
work. And it doesn't. I left my PC on all night -- what do I need to
do in order to expedite the indexing? It's worth mentioning my PC
does log off me as a user after so much idle time. Does the user need
to be logged in for indexing to take place? If so, how do I extend
the time it takes before Windows XP logs me out?
2) The Advanced Find doesn't work either. It doesn't find messages
that I can see are in there, for example it doesn't return any hits
when I search for messages to SMITH, yet I can see there are messages
to Smith. Does Advanced Find require the indexing to be complete,
too? If not, any ideas why Advanced Find isn't working either?
3) Is this PST file was indexed on the old PC, why isn't it still
indexed on the new PC?
