Outlook 2007 'Find all related messages' not working

M

M Skabialka

I just installed Outlook (and Office) 2007, and downloaded the serach engine
it said was required to search through my messages. However searching is
ungodly slow, and dosn't find items that are right there in front of me.
e.g. I often write several emails and get replies in a conversation and at
the end of the day collect them into a single folder. In Office 2003 I
would right-click one and select "Find all related messages" . It would
look in my Inbox, Sent Items and Mailbox and within a few seconds I would
have a list of all sent and received items to drag into my folder.
With Outlook 2007 I am looking at my Inbox and see half a dozen in the
conversation I need, I right-click and search as above, and none are found
after a five minute long search!
What has to be done differently in Outlook 2007 to make this simple feature
work?

Thanks,
Mich

This is happening to me as well and I am in Outlook 2003. What
gives? I know there are e-mails in my Sent Items called "Issue List";
the advanced find says it is looking in Sent Items, Drafts and Inbox,
yet it isn't finding all the messages...again, what gives?
