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,
Shamsan

ISO30,
THANKS, no I didnt know about teh  Advanced find, but it is a very useful tool, thanks again.

and thank you PCUNITE  as well  ..

How can I search for an exact phrase or word ?
Assuming you want to search the message body:

1) In the Advanced Find dialog, click the Advanced tab

2) Under "Define more criteria", click the Field button and select All Mail fields --> Message

3) For Condition, select phrase matches

4) Enter the phrase in the Value field

5) Click the Add to List button

6) Click the Find Now button
I am giving Grade C  because it is not addressing the exactt/actuall probme I am facing.
