Can't get advanced find to search contact folder
 

I am a long time outlook user. In 2007 I attempted to search the contacts
folder unsuccessfully. It goes away briefly and returns with a nothing there
message. Searches for known contacts returns nothing. The simpler search
tools are working fine suggesting that the file can be found and data exists.
I have reset the search. I have been through all the parameters and set them
to nothing.
I have gone back to 2003 on another machine and verified advanced search
works there.
It is puzzling for such a simple tool to fail. Probably a setting somewhere
of which I am ignorant.
