Default Searching a Contacts folder

I have a Contacts folder in my Exchange 2K3SP2 server, with 776 contacts and
I can NOT search (filter) on them in Oultook 2K7 and 2K3 no problems.

When I copy it to my Mailbox, I can then search the folder fine from my
Mailbox.

Any ideas on a fix...?

Thanks,
Tom...

Might want to try making a clear post in the right group. This is more
likely an Exchange issue than an Outlook issue.

To which search method are you referring? Outlook 2007's new default is to
use Instant Search, which of course would not be indexing Public Folders.
