I use Windows Search 4.0 with Outlook 2007 to look up contact phone numbers.
This has been a great tool to allow me to look up a caller ID numbers and
find the associated contact in my address book. But I have found that phone
numbers in the "Business phone 2" field seem to be invisible to Windows
search. The problem occurs with all contacts in my address book. The number
is there in the "Business Phone 2" field, but Windows Search cannot find it.I
have painfully rebuild the index, yet WS still cannot find any numbers listed
in the "Business Phone 2" field.
Here's what I use this search for...
1. My phone rings
2. I quickly look at the displayed phone number on my caller ID.
3. If there is no name, I enter the last four digits into the search window
in Outlook contacts.
4. Before the fourth ring, the search results show me all contacts with
those four digits in one of the phone numbers, and I know who's calling.
But this doesn't work if the phone number is in the "Business phone 2" field.
WHY NOT?
Is there a way to make this work?
