Outlook 2007- 'Look For' 'Messages' results include contacts

[SF Tech]

See original thread below. A search for 'Messages' should not return all
'items' as there is a seperate search for 'Any type of Outlook item'. Then,
why do contacts return for a search in 'Messages'? Calendar, task and other
items do not return in the search only messages and contacts.

I do not believe that is correct. There is a 'Look for' search item that
indicates it will search for 'Any type of Outlook item' but the 'message'
choice should not include any item. Otherwise, what would the 'Any type of
Outlook item' search choice be for???
I would include a screen shot but it appears I can not do that in a post.
Thanks!

The functions searches for "items" older than 90 days so this includes
everything; mail, appointments, tasks, contacts, etc...
Can't currently verify the behavior for Outlook 2003 but the behavior in
Outlook 2007 is correct.

We are using Outlook 2007 with an Exchange Server in a domain environment.
When our users perform a Mailbox Cleanup and search in 'Messages' for
items
older than 90 days it returns messages AND contacts in the results. We
had a
user inadvertantly delete all his contacts due to this behavior. 2003 did
not return contacts with messages, is this a bug or new behavior in 2007?
