I already had rebuilt the index (which took a while), and nothing. Same
problem. I cannot find a lot of contacts by search, but they are there as
I
can find them alphabetically. Something changed!!!!

Try rebuilding the index - Control panel, indexing options, advanced.

I have the same exact problem in Vista with MS Outlook 2007. I tried
rebuildind the index from Control Panel and nothing. I inserted this
contact
Robyn Whatever and it cannot find it. But if I go into a new email and
click
the "To" button, it finds it. Nothing I add or change now will be
found.
It
keeps saying that it is in the middle of indexing but that has gone on
for
days. Something is wrong with the program because I have done nothing
different. I have almost 400 contacts and this is a pain.

For some reason, contacts I have added recently cannot be found using

search function. Has something changed in recent times in Outlook
with
the
various security patches? This has not been the case in the past...
