Successful search results returns a blank "Full Name" in results
I have Outlook 2007 on Vista , when I search for a contact, Outlook finds the
correct results but does not display the “Full name” field. If I double Click on the result, the detailed Contact window shows that the underlying data is all correct. Does Outlook 2007 cache "Calulated" fields like "Last Name"? Is there a way to refresh this list? Or is this indication of corrupted data? I am assuming that "Full Name" is a calcuated field based on Firstname + Lastname. |

Explain more clearly what you mean and what function is missing that you
think is important. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Sharam" wrote in message ...

Successful search results returns a blank "Full Name" in resul
I will try! In the contacts window there is a search field with greyed out
title "Search All Contact Items". If for example I search for a name like "Anderson" in this field. Outlook returns with "All Contact Items (Search Results)", it apparently finds a few matches. The view that I have is a Phone list. I get blanks for "Full Name", some data for "Company", blanks for "File As" and data for the rest of the fields. So, in order to find the right "Anderson" I have to go through the list one by one open each contact and find the right one. I wish I could post an image to explain this better! Thank you for your help.

We're not making much progress here. Assuming you are referring to Instant
Search, it will return a match that occurs in any field that is indexed. All name fields are indexed. You need to start by examining the status of your Index. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Sharam" wrote in message ... I will try!

As you can see the "Full Name" and "File As" fields displayed in the view are
blank. But if I double click and open each one line in the list there is data for the "Full Name" and the "File As". I have rebuild the index and that does not help.

Just by recreating the Contacts. I suspect you did something to corrupt your
data file (like importing Contacts). This has nothing to do with Instant Search. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Sharam" wrote in message ...

The only native way to do it is to open and save each Contact. You could
also check on third party software to correct the problems created by importing. I'd start he http://www.contactgenie.com/ -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Sharam" wrote in message ... I agree!
