| | Vista 64 Search is not seeing any of my Outlook 2003 contacts. I just installed Vista 64. Search is working fine and pulls up tif's and doc's etc... However, it is no longer finding contacts from Outlook 2003. Is there some setttings that I need to change? I have already had the index start over from scratch and that didn't solve the problem. Will the 64 bit system just not find 32 bit Outlook files? |

You might try adding or including the file type and folders for Outlook to what will be Indexed. You can look at this link for how to do it. It may do the trick for you. Indexing Options Shawn |

| | Re: Vista 64 Search is not seeing any of my Outlook 2003 contacts. I don't recommend doing what is suggested below - it won't make any difference as Outlook is searched through the MAPI mail interfaces not through the file system. Is e-mail in Outlook searchable, but just contacts don't work, or is neither searchable? If you open the Indexing Options Control Panel and click Modify, do you see Microsoft Office Outlook and if you expand that node do you see your mail stores listed? Vista search {32- or 64-bit} should search Outlook contacts. But note if you have a company-wide Global Address Book that won't be searched.

| | Re: Vista 64 Search is not seeing any of my Outlook 2003 contacts. Dave, I disabled Search in services and rebooted and re-enabled it and now, surprise, it is indexing contacts, calendar items, journal entries and email. The question I now have is this. Search drives me crazy because it makes my hard drive go constantly, and I mean just that. I have a RAID 10 system with about 600 GB of useable memory. I have disabled my paging file because I think I have enough RAM. I have disabled Restore because that never works anyway. So Search is the only thing making the disks go. I disable Search and it quiets the hard drives tremendously. So, what I would like to do is just have Search work only a specific area for specific documents. I only want it to search Outlook and My Documents (doc, txt, tif, pdf, rtf, docx, xml, dot [etc]). I've been in that control panel that you spoke about, but can't remember how I got there. So what settings would I have to use in Search to get it to concentrate on what I just spoke of?

Yeah, if you disable the "Windows Search" Service, then it disables the Indexing feature leaving you with the more thorough search. You can adjust the settings for search in Folder Options. See this link for more on search options if you need it. Search Options Shawn |
