Successful search results returns a blank "Full Name" in results

[Sharam]

I have Outlook 2007 on Vista , when I search for a contact, Outlook finds the
correct results but does not display the “Full name†field. If I double
Click on the result, the detailed Contact window shows that the underlying
data is all correct.

Does Outlook 2007 cache "Calulated" fields like "Last Name"? Is there a way
to refresh this list? Or is this indication of corrupted data? I am assuming
that "Full Name" is a calcuated field based on Firstname + Lastname.

Explain more clearly what you mean and what function is missing that you
think is important.

 

[Sharam]

I will try! In the contacts window there is a search field with greyed out
title "Search All Contact Items". If for example I search for a name like
"Anderson" in this field. Outlook returns with "All Contact Items (Search
Results)", it apparently finds a few matches. The view that I have is a Phone
list. I get blanks for "Full Name", some data for "Company", blanks for "File
As" and data for the rest of the fields. So, in order to find the right
"Anderson" I have to go through the list one by one open each contact and
find the right one. I wish I could post an image to explain this better!

Thank you for your help.

We're not making much progress here. Assuming you are referring to Instant
Search, it will return a match that occurs in any field that is indexed. All
name fields are indexed. You need to start by examining the status of your
Index.
