Default 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?

Dave,

Never mind. I think I have it all figured out.



Dave,

Glad to here you got it.

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.
