This may have been covered in a another post somewhere but could not (easily)
find anything relevant. I am running Outlook 2007 on Vista Enterprise; the
index is completely rebuilt but I still get this message in the Outlook
Search results box when searching my inbox. Strangely enough this was working
for some time now but started to see this error over the past few days. Clues?

Hi, Wendell.

Building the index is not a "once done it's forever" kind of job. Every
time we save a new file - intentionally or automatically - the index must be
updated to include the new item. Deleting files also require the index to
be updated to remove those files. And since the index-building runs as a
background task, it can take a long time to do the update if the computer is
kept busy all day and turned off quickly after the workday.

Have you moved a lot of files recently? Either into this computer, or out
of it, or from one folder to another? Maybe you just need to give the
machine some "down time" to let the Indexing Service catch up.
