Outlook 2007 not indexing files
"Stonewall" wrote in message ... 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? -- Stonewall I am also reading this thread, but for the life of me, I don't see why you are ranting at Vista when the problem is with 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. |

Outlook 2007 not indexing files
Hi, First, please excuse my approximative english ! May be you'll find this useful : i've got the same problem since a week and got rid of it. Here's the way : - Go to control panel / indexing - uncheck all - restart That's it, I had no need to reconstruct anything ... I will enjoy if it works for you ... -- Francois Binder ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Francois Binder's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/francois-binder.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-fil...ent/916142.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
