Default Searching Contacts and sub folders

I am using Outlook 2003

With Contacts highlighted in the folder list, I am using the "Type a Contact
to find" box in the standard toolbar.

This searches the Top Contacts folder OK but does not search any sub folders.
The Advanced find does work OK.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Default Searching Contacts and sub folders

Searches all folders here. Are you sure you've enabled all subfolders as
email address books? Does the first folder contain a match that it finds?

Thank you for your reply.

Your answer was exactly right.
A couple of hours aftrer making this post I discovered that the sub folders
had not been allocated as outlook address books. That solved the problem.

Once again - Thanks.
