no search results on Contacts, Outlook 2007 with OS Vista

[Omitofo]

Does anybody know why? Outlook 2007 with OS XP no problem, but with my newly
bought Vista machine, I could not search with contacts.

Thank you very much.

No. Can you provide any information on your Indexing Status and its
settings? You provided no troubleshooting information.

Hi Russ,
Indexing Status
Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed.
91 items remainng in "Personal Folders"
91 items remaining across all open mailboxes.

That was what it said. Just now I have updated to Office Service Pack 1,
still could not search. I have tried to uninstall the Office and reinstall
again, but did not solve the problem. Just don't know why. Thank you for
any help.

No wonder. Sounds like you're overdue to rebuild your index.

Hi Russ,
Thank you for your advise but after follow the instruction on fixing instant
search from your link. Rebuild entire index and status to 0 and the instant
search still does not work. Would my Office 2007 Professional Plus not
competible with Windows Vista? Would my search function not working? Any
my other machine using XP work fine with search on the outlook.pst file.
Please advise.

Thank you in advance.

Assuming you have tried every troubleshooting suggestion on that site, I
have no other suggestions. Feature has always worked fine for me and has
seemed to work fine for everyone who has successfully rebuilt their index.
It actually works better on Vista than on XP.

I have the same problem, but not only do searches of Contacts fail, so do
searchs of most other folders including Advanced Find searches. I given the
index services weeks to complete its indexing. I need carefully go thru your
suggestions, but skimming they are all things that I have previous tried on
my on.

The only way I could get search to work was by disabling Instant Search.
However, to me, that is not an acceptable solution.

I am not sure that my problem’s the same. I use Outlook 2007 under Vista.
My contacts are in different sub-folders (all under contacts – say, contacts
1, contacts 2, …). When I search using the “search box†in the standard
toolbar, I find them all, but when I use “advanced find†I can only find
what’s in contacts, but not the contacts in the sub-folders. In the previous
version (2003 under XP) I was able to find all contacts via “advanced findâ€
including the ones in the sub-folders.
Thanks in advance,
Ronie.

 

[wilshire]

my problem may be the same as yours.

my new comp with vista was working fine for about a couple of weeks. all of
a sudden, when i search for what I know is in my contacts, it does not
retrieve, dont know why.

 

[Laurier]

I have the same problem also, running 2007 on Vista.
using search Address books - no problem, use quick search bar and get
message "Outlook is currently Indexing your items
Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed.
9433 items remainng in "Personal Folders"
10169 items remaining across all open mailboxes.

It would seem there is a real problem here, I have tried to use indexing
functions from Control panel but to no avail. Need some help from microsoft
please.

Since that is only small part of what was suggested, you might want to post
some actual information without the assumption that we can read your mind.
