Outlook 2007 vs. OWA

Hello.  My GM showed me this anomoly today.  He did a search on his Outlook 2007 client's inbox and four emails with the string in them were displayed.  Then he did the exact same search logged into OWA and got 20+ results for that same string.  He says that his previous client installation, Outlook/Office 2003, returned search results that matched OWA.

Cache is enabled in Outlook, and no .ost/.pst errors are appearing.  Suggestions?

Related Question: *should* caching be enabled on Outlook running on a wired workstation? Is the function of this cache to allow offline email browsing?

Thank you.
Mike

1) Okay.  Seems to cause a number of issues, tho.

2) Okay, I see.  Yet, why would MS offer the opportunity to turn caching off?

3) It is Exchange2007.
    Yes, OWA works properly.  I have not created a new profile (since he's the GM and I don't really want to screw up his intricate menagerie of mail folders.  That would be detrimental to my career.).  But I have heard of no other user affected.  However, few others here are power users as is he.
I will try all this on a different workstation and report what happens.  His is Win7.

Thank you for replying.

Watching closely how the 2007 client behaves, I wonder if he simply didn't wait long enough.

Anyhow doing the scanost now.
It just needed reindexing throughout the client.
