Contact Searching - idiot operator

[susan dennis]

Outlook 2007. I cannot for the life of me get search in contacts to turn up
a thing. Clearly I have some setting somewhere set to results=0 but I can't
find it.

I have 847 items in Contacts. I have 2 people named Alice. I can see both
entries on my main contacts screen. Yet, when I plug in the word Alice in to
'search all Contact Items', I get the All Contact Items (Search Results)
screen with a note that says 'No matches found for "alice". Same results if
I only plug in the letter 'a' - 'No matches found for "a".

This is driving me nuts.

I have the same set of contacts on a different machine running Outlook 2003.
If I plug 'alice' into that search, I get the two Alices. So, while I'm an
idiot, the condition apparently only started in 2007

Where can I start to look for what's preventing the proper search results?
