I have the same issue I think. I think the problem is that it only
searches the email address. Please see if the contacts you can not
find do not have email addresses. This is the case with my problem. I
could definitely search for any field before now it appears to just
look in the email field. Any suggestions?

Has something to do with PST files and other contact folders. If you
create a new email mapi profile it should fix the problem.

I do believe I have the same problem. I try searching contacts based on there
company name "Reece" and it only brings up 1 contact from this company plus 2
other names that don't have any relevance to this company.

I've checked to see if the other "Reece" contacts have email addresses and
they don't!

CT - could you explain further your solution "...creat a new email mapi
profile...."?
If I understand correctly does this mean basically that I need to get an
email address for them?

the lack of an email address shouldn't matter, unless you are specifically
searching for email addresses. Make a new profile from control panel, mail.

I'm sorry but I don't see how this will help by creating an additional
profile or maybe I'm not understanding it clearly? Can you explain it further?

if the search isn't working correctly you may have a corrupt profile -
making a new profile is the only way to correct it.

This "new profile" and what it's telling me on this web page link you've
refered me to is basically setting up a new "user account" is this correct?

That is incorrect. A new mail profile and a new account are completely
different objects.

And what problem would that be, since you quoted none of the thread to which
you think you are replying (but are not).

the database cannot be found using search. Also emails which are
definately there cannot be found using search - does anyone have a
solution?


Care to post some measure of detail, like Outlook version, what "database"
you mean, and exactly how you're trying to search?
