search personal folders outlook 2003

[Guest]

I have many PST or personal folders.
I am trying to be able to find or search for emails in PST folders.
I am not able to select a PST folders from the "search in" box. Only can
choose inbox, all mail folder, etc. All mail folders does not include
searching PST folders.
If I try selecting the PST files under the Options, advanced find, I can
select the pst folder to search, but won't let me also select the inbox
folder.
In summary, is there a way to search all folders including PST's in one find?

A .pst is an information store. Searching involves searching folders IN a store. Your post is unclear - you cannot specify a .pst as the FOLDER to search in, but you can designate the folders in the information store to search.
