I have rebuilt the index twice, index shows as fully completed, but I still cannot get the email search function to work in Outlook 2007 & I have also repaired Office 2007 install & still can't fix it ? Still getting "no matches found" when there are matches there - help please !

I assume that you have done this - Tools - Instant Search - Search Options - Ticked all of the relevant folders.

What is your OS and have you ever had the search working?

Does the W7 search work ok as Outlook uses this?

Are any of your search folders corrupted or have odd data in them?

The clearfinder switch doesn't seem to be relevant. I'm stuck.
