Search contacts in Outlook 2007
lHello,
I am using Outlook 2007, based on Microsoft Exchange 2007. I am trying to search for someone in Organization, called Abdouley something. If I type 'Ab' in the Outlook 2007 contacts searchbox, and click Enter, I recive irrelevant names from my contact list, such as , which has no Ab at her name at all. I have tryied to define the organization contacts as default (CTRL+Shift+B - Tools - Options - Show this address list first My organization list) - but I still receive irrelevant names. What can I do in order to get rid of this irrelevant search results? Regrads, Uriel |

Contacts searchbox?
To which search method are you referring? Have you tried Advanced Find? -- Russ Valentine "p_uriel" wrote in message ... lHello, I am using Outlook 2007, based on Microsoft Exchange 2007.

Contact searchbox - is located in the main toolbar, on the right (one icon
left to the help icon). The advanced find works well, but the simple search pupulates wrong contact. How to resolve this? Uriel "Russ Valentine" wrote: Contacts searchbox?

Simple. Use Advanced Find. That's what the rest of us do.

I'm sure Lookeen is a fine product. But users should have all the search
capabilities they need within Outlook if they just learn how to use them. When using Instant Search (which I'm still guessing is what the OP means), you're subject to the whims of the indexing algorithm. Instant Search can be refined by expanding the Query options, noticing which fields are actually indexed, and confining the search to the relevant field. If that fails, Advanced Find will provide further refinement (and doesn't use Instant Search). -- Russ Valentine "Boris Derdner" wrote in message ...
