How do I search the contact notes field?
I use keywords located in the notes field in most of my contacts, but the
contacts search function does not list those contacts with the search criteria in the notes field. How can I add the notes field to the list of indexed or queried fields? Any help would be MOST appricaiated.

Outlook 2007.
Advanced Find is very cumbersome, especially if you have to use it 50-100 times a day. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Post Outlook version.

How do I search the contact notes field?
Use it anyway. Instant Search doesn't work on the Notes field.
If you need information that frequently, you might want to consider a better place to store information than the Notes field. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Greg S" wrote in message ...

I have to disagree. I am running Outlook 2007 on Vista. Instant Search does
work on the Notes field. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Use it anyway. Instant Search doesn't work on the Notes field.
