actually the first answer led me to the right area. I was not given the option of rebuilding but when i was in the indexing area i noticed that some of my very large external back up drives had become included in the indexing cue. I wondered if that was bogging down the system. i removed them from the indexing options and now it is working again. Thanks

Another thing to note with Outlook 2010 is the search will reform different results with owa and outlook.
