I installed MS Office 2010 and chose &quot;Upgrade&quot;. After that the search worked again.<br />

I can't say if your solution would've worked but anyway thank you for your time.

Hi there !<br />
<br />
I am using Outlook 2007 on Windows XP SP3 and try to search my emails. I used to do that by entering a search text in the textbox above the mailbox and it showed me very quickly the results. When I do that now I don't get any results no matter what I enter. It should definitely come up with some matches.<br />
<br />
I reckon some options have changed but I can't figure out what to do in order to make the search work again. Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />
Dirk.
