Outlook search no workie.
My outlook search has decided to stop working. I can search for a contact in the contacts, and search for a name that is in the contact list, and it says no results.
Same for emails. I can search for something in emails, and it doesn't show up.
However, in both cases, if I manually go find it, it is there.
I think this is an "Instant Search" issue and needs to have the old index killed, and re-index everything. I clicked re-index in the control panel, but that doesn't appear to have done anything.
How do I fix the instant search?

I have made some progress.
I have figured out that it is no longer searching the correct outlook folder.
Under Indexing Optiions, it references MYDOMAIN\myuser, however, I have the feeling that it is pointing to C:\Users\myuser.MYDOMAIN\ instead of C:\Users\myuser.MYDOMAIN.0
The 000 happened when we upgraded our server, and a new profile on this machine was created.
How do I tell search to look at the new profile?

That didn't work either.
I just stopped and disabled the windows search service, restarted, shift+deleted C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\S
We'll see if that helps any.... :-/
