No contacts in "All Contact Items" (Outlook 2007b)

It say that indexing is paused. So that is why the search won't work? After
the index finishes then it should work?

Thanks.

Do you have Windows Desktop Search 3.0 installed? Have you checked in Control Panel | Search Options to see if the index has finished building?

Right, All Contact Items, there is nothing showing there. When I search for
a contact in the 'Search All Contact Items' field nothing is found. However
when I search for that same contact name in the 'Find a Contact' box in the
toolbar, it finds the contact. I assume I'm also supposed to get results
from the 'Search All Contact Items' field, but it must be looking in the
wrong places.

"All Contact Groups"? You should see "All Contact Items" in the navigation pane. That's the search window. You won't see anything there unless you conduct a search using the box in the title bar for that view. In other words, it contains no data. All your contacts will show under My Contacts and Other Contacts, as I think you've already seen.

Some people have problems getting the search up and running. (Remember, it's a beta on top of a beta.) If you haven't left Outlook running overnight, that's the first thing to try. If that doesn't work, rRemoving WDS 3.0, restarting Windows and reinstalling it might help. You can also check out the other threads in the microsoft.public.outlook.general group on search issues.

OK, thanks for your help.
