I am glad it isn't just me having trouble with this. I think the problem is
with Outlook 2007's indexing. It just says the number of files remaining to
be indexed when you check the status but this number just slowly goes up over
time never down. The search in Outlook or Vista fails even for the word "and"
when you look in emails.
Google desktop works (I installed this too so I could search Outllook 2007)
but it is a bit annoying to have to use Google for this. Although the old
Outlook 2003/XP search was slow at least it worked.
If anyone figures out how to fix this problem please add it to the discussion!
Thanks
Ed
