Could be you have to re-enable search or re-enable indexing.

Here is a place to start:

I find it helpful to occasionally shut down and reboot the machine.

HTers,

 

I run my office on a laptop and docking station, never shut the computer off except rarely when installing a software update (iTunes, Windows, AOL, etc.). Today, after shutting down and re-starting, my Outlook mail searches mostly come up empty. That is, no matter what folder I look into, to try to find someone by name or by message content, anything that was posted before early afternoon (when the computer started again) is not found by the search. The messages are there –I can find them manually--, but the search says they’re not.

 

Has anybody ever run across  this, and if so, did you fix it? How? I did a Windows update, shut down, started up again, but no change in behavior. It’s very annoying, disruptive, and costly, in terms of my time.

 

Thanks,

Ed
