I am running Vista Home Premium & Office 2007 and the search feature in
Outllok has suddenly stopped woking without any error messages it just says
no matches found for whatever I try and search for.

I've tried running the built in diagonstics and also tried inserting the
disk and running the repair feature, nothing has worked I still cannot search.

What else can I try to fix this very frustrating issue?
 
First check the Index locations for Outlook:
Control panel > Indexing Options > Modify --- check that all Outlook data
files are selected.

You might then need to rebuild the Index. click the Advanced button in
Indexing Options and then the Rebuild button in the Index settings tab of
Advanced Options.

Also check the Outlook settings.
In Outlook --- Tools | Options | Preferences tab | Search Options.

remember that it might take some time for an Index to be built.
