Searches not working in Outlook '07

[Scott Micale]

I am trying to do normal searches in my emails and contacts in Outlook 2007
and it is not returning any data for me. I have tried rebuilding my indexes
and restoring the defaults and nothing seems to work. I am seeing errors in
my Application log.

I have googled this and appears several people are having this issue, but no
fixes I have found. Hopefully someone on this forum knows what I can do to
fix this because I use the search feature all the time and really need it
working.

Robert,

I tried everything in the article and I am still having the issues. I even
unchecked all my seach options in Outlook for the PST files I use and even
when I rebuild and reset the defualts I am still seeing the application
error in the event log. It appears there is something wrong with the Vista
Search itself and maybe not so much something in Oulook. Is there a to
completely remove the search and then re-add it? Not sure if that would do
it either. What are your thoughts?

I couldn't find a way to just reinstall Search in Vista. If you create a new
mail profile and put in some data, does it get indexed then or do you still
get errors?
See http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm

 

[Scott Micale]

yes I have tried creating a new profile and the same problem still happens.

Do you have any other things I can try to get Outlook serach to start
working again? This is really annoying!
