I just upgraded two Macs to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) and was able to open Entourage just fine, but to my surprise I could no longer SEARCH my email! On both of them, search results came up dead blank. Even searching All Folders for a common name (like my own) or the word "the" gave a null result.
I've gone into Entourage Preferences, selected Spotlight, and hit "Rebuild" then "OK" but even after several hours, nothing at all is turning up when I do a search. (How long does it take to rebuild a file? I have about 1.6 GB on my mailbox.)
I opened Spotlight preferences and could NOT find an option to have it search Entourage. Mail is checked, in fact every option Spotlight gives me is checked, but there's no listing of Entourage in the Spotlight system preference panel.
A third system (exact same sync) running Leopard (10.5.6) still works fine and doesn't list Entourage under the Spotlight control panel, so I'm assuming that's not the issue.
Any ideas? I am really at a loss without the ability to search emails! I suppose I can wait another day or so for the rebuild to happen, but how do I know when it's done? I'm not even sure if it's rebuilding or not. The fact that I still get NO results even for search terms that should be ubiquitous makes me worry.
Help?!? Anyone else have troubles with Search / Spotlight and Entourage emails after upgrading to Snow Leopard?
Thanks in advance for any tips -- or if this is a bug for its prompt investigation and fix!
