We mark the contents of the Deleted Items {and Junk Mail} folders as hidden,
so they are indexed but don't show up in search results by default. You need
to go to Folder Options in Windows Explorer, and then select "Show Hidden
Files and Folders" to see these items in searches.

Hope this helps,

Dave
