thanks for the clear help and pointers...
>>I rarely ever search from within Outlook anymore

you search directly on the file from OS? do you have to give the path of the pst file?
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 -> Indexing options). Works great and works fast.

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/  Full configurable and I think they have a 30 day trial so that you can check it out
