Default Contact Search

OKAY everyone. yes, I had the CONTACT SEARCH problem as well. Its strange
that nobody from Microsoft or MVP's don't know about this problem because
i've searched and have seen alot about it.

READY? Here is the FIX.

In Outlook 2007, Click CONTACTS in the navigation pane. In the upper right
corner of the Contacts pane should be a search box that says Search All
Contact Items very light. To the right of that search box is a dropdown
arrow. Click it and choose SEARCH OPTIONS. In the Search Options window, in
the middle is the SEARCH section. UNCHECK the DISPLAY SEARCH RESULTS AS I
TYPE WHEN POSSIBLE box.
My search started working again after I did this. Even when I rechecked the
box.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH ("Elvis")

Don't forget to remember the millions that gave there lives and limbs for
the freedoms most of us are unaware that we have. Memorial Day

For some reason, contacts I have added recently cannot be found using the
search function. Has something changed in recent times in Outlook with the
various security patches? This has not been the case in the past... Help!
