That is perfectly right. But one thing that is to be taken care of is that, there has to be verification by your Outlook data files that they can be indexed.
The basic outlook indexes include the following data files:
Personal Folders files (.pst)
Offline Folder files (.ost)
What you are basically supposed to do is as given below:
- Move to the Tools menu and take your cursor right to the Instant Search and then you can click on the Search Options
- Simultaneously, you need to click on the arrow that exists in the instant search pane.
- Click on the search Options button present on the menu available
- Go to the Indexing sub-menu, from there you need to verify that your search inclusions are already a part of the index.
- Post this, you need to check and confirm the completion of indexing
- In order to verify that the indexing is done perfectly, go to the tools menu then instant search followed by clicking on the indexing status
- Make sure only 0 items are remaining in the dialog box. If that is not the case then you have to wait for searching till the indexing is completed
- If the indexing I completed and still there is the instant search results are not yielding desired results. Then,
o Exit outlook by the standard ways and shut your PC completely down
o Restart the computer and restart Outlook and verify if that the indexing is properly done
o In order to verify that the indexing is done perfectly, go to the tools menu then instant search followed by clicking on the indexing status
- Check and confirm that there is no increase in the number of items belonging to Indexing Status. If there is no noted improvement then you need to wait till the indexing is completed for the results.
