One of my users has said that typing oneil in outlook would result in a
'Check Names' dialog box opening and presenting all O'Neils (note the
apostrophe). They say this has changed and now they have to type o'neil.

Is it possible to set a 'fuzzy' search in Outlook instead of exact for the
check names dialog box?

Thank you.
 
Migrated from what?

Do things work when Outlook is not configured in Cached Exchange Mode? If so
see;
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=841273
Especially take a look at Q22

If it still doesn't work then it is in the way your Offline Address Book is
being generated or you don't have a properly configured Alias. Either way it
would make more sense to continue in an Exchange newsgroup then.
 
Outlook is not set to cached mode and the queries still dont resolve. Per
the KB article, Outlook should be querying the Address Book for the
attribute: mailnickname which is set to moneil. In this example, would oneil
resolve to moneil?
