Hello people,

I am using Outlook 2007 from few months. But whenever i search any mail in mailbox, it gives no result. Can anybody solve this problem?

Thank you.

When Instant Search is enabled, you search for items in Outlook, no search results appear, or the ones that do appear don't match your search criteria. Then go to Tools => Instant Search => Search Options => "uncheck" the data file you want to be searched. Hope it will help.

Try rebuilding the index. You can do it by following way:

• Exit Outlook
• Click the Start button
• Go to Control Panel
• In Windows Vista, Click System Maintenance, and then click Indexing Options.
• In Microsoft Windows XP double-click Indexing Options
• Click Advanced
• Click Rebuild
• Restart Outlook

I am using Google desktop search now. That way you can search inside outlook
and it brings up all the emails with the word you are searching for.
