Outlook Search Not working

Outlook Search Not working

1) Open the Outlook search option panel and unselect all folders for indexing.
2) Exit Outlook and without doing anything else wait a good while,(I waited 15 minutes) it was suggested that you allow time for the index to be removed.
3) Reboot
4) Go directly to the control panel, go to System and Maintenence, then to Indexing Options, then to Advanced Options.
5) Press the Reset Defaults button (yes if you have special options you will loose them)
6) Reboot and wait for the indexes to rebuild (this may take quite a long time).
7) When you return to Outlook you will see the Indexing Status now actually works its way through the items and when it completes the Instant search works.
