Stop Search folders from disabling every 1-2 days?

Is there any way to stop most of my 10 search folders from disabling
(becoming italicized) every 1-2 days?

I don't want that behavior because in non-disabled state they each display
the total number of results in the folder title:

"Milestone 1 Due Today [21]"

If they become disabled they don't.

They need to be accessed to prevent that. If users aren't doing that you can
stop and restart the search to do that.

Is that a native method you are referring to or are you referring to a
Redemption method? Funny thing is I am actually deleting and recreating them
on Outlook startup but that hasn't seemed to make any difference.

Yeah, you're right. There's a Search.Stop() method in the OOM but no Start()
method. Both are available in Redemption with the RDOSearchFolder object.
Sorry about that.

I'm sort of surprised that deleting a search folder, creating a new search
and saving it as a new search folder doesn't activate that folder but leaves
it inactive.
