I recently installed Office 2007 SP2 on my work computer and I am finding
that search queries within Outlook 2007 are much slower than before. It is
almost as slow as if indexing was not enabled. I am using Outlook 2007 in
cached exchange mode with an Exchange 2003 server on Windows Server 2003. I
am using version 4 of WDS.
Here is what I have tried:
1. I recreated the OST file and then rebuilt my index. But, this did not
help.
2. I have verified that Outlook shows under the Indexing Options and that my
mailbox is selected.
3. The Indexing Options interface indicates that my indexing is complete, so
the computer is still not indexing.
I am also experiencing the same problems on my home computer in Outlook 2007
after installing SP2. My home computer does not use an Exchange connection,
but instead uses PST files for my POP accounts.
My OST file with my Exchange connection is 2.03GB and my home's PST file is
1.62GB. So, while they are large files, they are not enormous.
I only notice this slow searching problem when using the "Try searching
again in All Mail Items" option - searches within the current folder are
relatively quick. Also, I do not experience this problem inside the Windows
Explorer search feature where emails searches remain quick.
If I do the same search through the Vista Search window, the searches are
once again instant. So, the problem appears to be specific to Outlook 2007.
I uninstalled SP2 and the problem went away. So, the problem is definitely
caused by Office 2007 SP2.
Has anyone found a workaround for this problem?
Thanks.
