| | Outlook 2007 not indexing files Hi there, I have a problem within Outlook 2007 when ever I try and search through my emails. Whenever I perform a search of any of my mail folders, I get no results and a message saying 'Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed. Click here for more details'. When I click for more details, I receive a message saying 'Outlook is currently indexing your items'. And telling me that 7695 items are reminaing in personal folders, and 17987 items are remaining across all open mailboxes. The problem is that this number never goes down, and has been like this ever since I started using the program. Could it be that the indexing is stuck somehow? I would really appreciate any help anyone could offer. Many thanks in advance, Barnaby Legg |

| | Re: Outlook 2007 not indexing files Use the Outlook data file scan and fix programme. When the scan is complete, try the search again. Scanpst.exe is installed when you install Outlook. It is located at: drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12.

| | Re: Outlook 2007 not indexing files Okay... have just repaired my data files using SCANPST.EXE, re-opened Outlook, and same problem, I'm afraid: search finds no results, with the message that Outlook is still indexing items.

| | Re: Outlook 2007 not indexing files Under Search options, I have the following set: 'Indexing' section shows all relevant data files ticked. I also have a tick in the box marked 'Prompt me when search results may be incomplete'. Search shows ticks in 'display search results as I type,' 'make searches faster by limiting the number of results shown' and 'highlight the word that i search for' Deleted items is not ticked. Instant Search Pane is set to 'Only the currently selected folder'.
