Default Why can't I find contacts in Outlook Web Access?

I have created a number of contacts but when I use the Find Names tool I
always get 'No entries were found', no matter how much information I supply
about the contact I am seeking.

Since OWA is a part of Exchange, probably best to ask in an Exchange group
for a complete answer.

Having said that, are the contacts kept in a .pst file or the mailbox?

What happens if you open the Contacts folder in OWA? OWA searches the GAL
by default. (Exchange 5.5)

Default Why can't I find contacts in Outlook Web Access?

When I open the Contacts folder the list of contacts is displayed. If I
select a contact I can then get that address displayed in the 'To' space of a
new message. My problem is that to enter other addresses on that message
(without laboriously typing them in) I need to use the Find Names facility
and it seems incapable of finding any name - it keeps saying 'No entries were
found'.
I don't know what GAL stands for!

"Global Address List" - it is your list of mail-enabled Exchange mailboxes
and is what 5.5 searches by default. You haven't mentioned what version of
Outlook/Exchange you are using.

Have you posted this to an Exchange group yet?

It makes no difference whether I search GAL or my Contacts, the search of GAL
just takes a little longer. I am accessing OWA via Internet Explorer 6 and I
copied the following about OWA
Microsoft® Office Outlook® Web Access
for Exchange Server 2003
Thanks for taking the time to help. I haven't as yet contacted any other group
