Indexing only some Contacts folders in Outlook 2007?

I have a number of Contacts folders in Outlook 2007. Some are
automatically generated by some applications that sync with my Palm
PDA. Others may be subsets I use to organize contacts on my Cell phone
or keep old, archived contacts I don't need in my daily view. It seems
like Vista's Search indexes all the Contacts in all contacts folders.
It's convenient to be able to search for contact info from the Start
menu. However, in some cases, a contact will exist in several folders
and there's no simple way from the Start menu to tell which contact
belongs in which folder.

Is there any way to control which folders are indexed so that I can
index only my master Contacts folder. I've found an option in Outlook
to choose which Mail accounts to index, but haven't found anything
similar for other data folder types.

The only thing I could think of is to actually move the other folders
to a separate PST file and exclude that from indexing. However, I'm
not sure if that might break some syncing features so I'd rather
disable indexing on a per-folder basis if this is possible.

Thanks!

From a quick look at the Indexing Options, it doesn't look like you can
narrow the indexing down to individual folder, just entire message stores
(mailboxes or PST files)
