Default Outlook 2007 not indexing files

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?

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.

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 ...
