I have the same issue I think. I think the problem is that it only
searches the email address. Please see if the contacts you can not find do not have email addresses. This is the case with my problem. I could definitely search for any field before now it appears to just look in the email field. Any suggestions? |

Has something to do with PST files and other contact folders. If you
create a new email mapi profile it should fix the problem. |

I do believe I have the same problem. I try searching contacts based on there
company name "Reece" and it only brings up 1 contact from this company plus 2 other names that don't have any relevance to this company. I've checked to see if the other "Reece" contacts have email addresses and they don't! CT - could you explain further your solution "...creat a new email mapi profile...."? If I understand correctly does this mean basically that I need to get an email address for them? "CT" wrote: Has something to do with PST files and other contact folders.

the lack of an email address shouldn't matter, unless you are specifically
searching for email addresses. Make a new profile from control panel, mail. http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/new_profile.htm -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ "deandepetra" wrote in message ...

I'm sorry but I don't see how this will help by creating an additional
profile or maybe I'm not understanding it clearly? Can you explain it further?

if the search isn't working correctly you may have a corrupt profile -
making a new profile is the only way to correct it. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ "deandepetra" wrote in message ...

This "new profile" and what it's telling me on this web page link you've
refered me to is basically setting up a new "user account" is this correct?

Contacts which are in the database cannot be found using search. Also emails which are definately there cannot be found using search - does anyone have a solution? Care to post some measure of detail, like Outlook version, what "database" you mean, and exactly how you're trying to search? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
