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.

This has not been the case in the past... Help! |

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

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!!!!

I will check what the WDS engine is. But something is wrong with the Contact
Indexing. I sync my contacts (almost 400) to my phone (Blackjack II), and on my phone I can search anything and it comes up superfast. On Outlook Contacts there is a banner on top that says it is not done indexing, and that has been there for days, even when I re index everything. It sucks and I did nothing to it for it to happen that way. It is a program error I bet and it will be fixed in time, and nobody is saying anything in the meantime.

Hi all - I am having the exact same problem (Outlook 2007): first it started
a few months ago out of the blue with new contacts not being found when typed into the "search all contact items" box (instant search); then some weeks later, no contacts were returned at all....even if I type in just one letter, say "e", which should return just about any contact. It makes contacts pretty useless, and VERY frustrating. I did everything I can think of, turn indexing on/off, rebuild the index, also tried to use the scanpst tool, but it comes back "scnpst32.dll is missing". ("Microsoft is looking for a solution", but of course does not come back with one....). Btw., I can search mails and that works fine.... All the other PC's in my home do not have the problem (yet!). I suspect it all started with some update, but I cannot put my fingers on it, since it's automatic. The most frustrating part is that A LOT OF USERS are having the problem, but no one from MS is showing up in the various threats, or working to address the problem. There is clearly a fundamental bug here that needs to be fixed! df1sp "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: Did you upgrade to the new WDS engine? -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

I have been having the same problem with Outlook 2007 for about a year now.
Has there been any news on how to fix it? Seems like it has been a noted problem for quite some time. Thanks.

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.

Hi, I have a similar problem. I can't search in Contacts in Office 2007. I
get nutty messages like '34,679 items remaining to be indexed'. Does anyone have an answer or is there a Knowledged based article on this subject?
