thanks for the clear help and pointers...

<div>
&gt;&gt;I rarely ever search from within Outlook anymore<br />
<br />
you search directly on the file from OS? do you have to give the path of the pst file?
</div>


<div>
In Vista or in Windows 7, in Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010 (I now use Windows 7 / Outlook 2010), you can type the search term in the search button (Start and enter text). You do not have to enter a path, but Outlook needs to be included in the Search index (Control Panel -&gt; Indexing options). Works great and works fast.<br />

X1 has its own interface to do the searches from and it actually can index items on your local drives as well i.e. documents etc/ &nbsp;Full configurable and I think they have a 30 day trial so that you can check it out<br />
