It's not profile based, it's mailbox/pst based - importing will screw it up.
On a completely new, clean mailbox or pst, the items will be found newest to
oldest, as expected. The change to WDS in Outlook 2007 eliminates the
problem.
There apparently is a flag, otherwise it would always work as expected, but
I don't know what it is. I haven't had time to check it out, in part because
I now use ol2007 - but i'm thinking its related to the date the mailbox/pst
was created and the date on the messages - the difference on a new mailbox
and older messages somehow messes the search function up.
