Are the mailboxes selected to be indexed in Tools-> Options-> Search
Options...?

What does the indexing status say in Tools-> Instant Search-> Indexing
Status...?

All the mailboxes are indexing and i had Lookout on my previous outlook so i
am quite familliar with it.

As for Indexing it just keeps giving me what seem like random changing
numbers. Sometimes it looks like it is completing and then it seems like it
has a long way to go.

Lookout used to index in 30 minutes or so. This has been going on a month.

I have rebuilt the index once as per instrucions on the help in out look.

Any thoughts?
