I am running MS XP SP2 with MS Office 2007 Professional. The issue that I
have is that when I search through archive folders (attached .pst files in MS
Outlook 2007), the search comes back with, "No Matches Found." When I do a
"search all mail items," I have no issues searching and finding emails within
my mailbox. This issue only exists for .pst files. I have tried the
following items:
(1) Made sure that rtf has RFT Fileter (and not plain text or null) in file
types of advanced options within Indexing Options,
(2) Made sure that pst is selected (with index properties and file contents
selected) in file types of advanced options within Indexing Options, and
(3) I have selected rebuild the re-index selected locations option within
the indes xettings of the advanced options within Indexing Options.

At this point, I am totally confused as to how to fix this searching issue
that I am having with Outlook 2007 in regards to .pst files. Any and all
help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Jason
