| | Re: Outlook 2007 not indexing files I just downloaded the V4 Beta and nothing has changed for me. I have had the partially indexed message for some months. I have recently been trying to get the Control Panel>Indexing Options to rebuild my indices but it gets a few hundred documents into the rebuild and hangs up. Windows Task Manager (Vista) reports that 'Indexing Options' is not responding and I have to abort it. I cannot restart 'Indexing Options' until I RESET my computer. Naturally this is quite time consuming and I am looking for relief! Any further help on this topic would be appreciated. -- Brad Miter "Dave Wood [MSFT]" wrote: Quote: > > I would suggest trying the preview of Windows Search 4, which updates the > Vista indexer with a newer version with many bug fixes: > > http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/wi...0-preview.aspx > > Let us know if that gets things working. > > "krykstar" <krykstar@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:330AD0EA-C38E-4FFA-BBFE-0FCE7D3BF11E@xxxxxx Quote: > > > > > > "AutoBarn" wrote: > > Quote: > >> Under Search options, I have the following set: > >> > >> 'Indexing' section shows all relevant data files ticked.

| | Re: Outlook 2007 not indexing files Tom, Please pardon the delay in responding to your suggestion. I also had a problem with my Outlook reminders not working and after a week or so getting that straightened out and having minor surgery last week, I am now ready to get back to the indexing. I have run scanpst.exe several times. In addition, I moved a couple of older .pst files to another drive. I still only get a couple of hundred files indexed before the rebuild loops. I have tried limiting the indexing to just Outlook or just my documents on the C drive and still get the hangup. In addition, when I do this it seems to always reset to the defaults when I reboot. Something is drastically wrong with this application. Is there anyway to get a log file out that would show the last record indexed or some other way to detect what is wrong? Thanks for your help.

I needed some of the same information but could not locte tha knowledge base article you refered to. Do you know why? I just wanted try to fix some problems that I have had regarding to the Vista search with the use of indexing.

| vista home premium 32 | Re: Outlook 2007 not indexing files I've read through this very frustrating thread. I see no way to fix the problem, and the descriptions here are identical to the pain I have suffered through nearly a hundred hours of work on fixing it. I have tried everything you discussed, and a lot more, and I simple cannot get Outlook ever to produce search results. It is clear that thousands of people are suffering the same broken search problems, and it is criminal that Microsoft does not fix it. Vista is crap. I'm fairly good with technical stuff (Ph.D. in astrophysics) but am completely stumped. Does anybody know how to fix this crappy search system in Outlook? |

If the Outlook search won't find your files, why would expect Vista to find them? I think there is an option to reindex files in Outlook, but I haven't used it for many years, so it may not be so. I think there are some repair options also, and there a numerous third party apps that are designed to clean up corrupt Outlook data files. I wonder why? The idea of having all my email, appointments, and contacts in one proprietary file that when it gets large often becomes corrupt was more than I was willing to stay with. Maybe they have solved some of those problems since I last used it 8 years ago, but it doesn't sound like they have. Good luck. |
