Outlook 2007 Not Showing Expected Search Results
I have noticed lately that whenever, I do a search in Outlook 2007 for a certain word, e-mail, etc. it does not show or does not find all known words in my e-mails, e.g., I have excanged several e-mail the day before, but none of them shown!!
and it keep showing results of old e-mails and unwanted results.
Any clue ?
Secondly, can I search for exact word or sentence using quotes or so ?
Thanks,
