I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2007.

Whenever I search for a text string in Outlook, the search results bring
back nothing. Even if I can see an email that contains that string of text
sitting in my inbox.

Outlook has all of my folders indexed and it should be finding these emails,
but it always returns no matches.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there any way to fix it?

Thanks for the reply.

I have actually tried everything mentioned on that page, but I'm still
getting no search results.

Have you taken a third-party alternative in consideration? There are some
useful and furthermore faster search tools out there... I'd recommend trying
add-ins like Copernic or Lookeen. The last on is the search alternative of
choice for me...

Gerry, you just saved my life. I hadn't even thought of using a 3rd-party
app to handle searches in Outlook.

I have installed the trial of Lookeen and it is indeed great - it finds
everything and it's fast. I just wish it wasn't so expensive...

Thanks so much!
