Using Outlook 2007 on windows XP with desktop search installed.

Once outlook was installed, could search inbox fine.

Imported email from previous computer from a .pst export, and now cant
search for mail in any folder. Looking at indexing status gives 26920 items
remaining in "Personal Folders"

This was a fresh install of office and XP, as was having same problem on PC
after upgrading. Was told best option was a clean install. Very frustrating
that it still occurs.

Can anyone help with this, before I go back to Office 2003

You should have just opened your previous .PST file in Outlook through the
File menu (File | Open | Outlook Data File). There is no need to import from
a .PST, as that is Outlook's native file format.

Try creating a new mail profile and see if that helps. Don't delete the old
profile until you're sure the new one works as it should.

Hi
Using a different profile does the same thing, as does using the same mail
file on a different PC (running Vista and Office 2007)

Try running Office Diagnostics from Outlook's Help menu. I believe it will
scan your .PST file for errors, among other tests it will perform.

of mail documents though.

I cannot search in any of the folders, tasks, notes, contacts in 2007. I
have been using a trial version since December 15th +/- 2006 of 2007. About
a week ago, the search portion stopped working. I thought that this occurred
becasue the end of the trial was eminent. so, I boutght the program. Even
after in converting, the search does not function. Can anyone help. I have
not imported any addresses since I first installed the program in December.
