Indexing seems fine, but no search results! Rolf Barbakken 09-23-2005

Desktop Search have worked fine for me earlier, but now it doesn't find
anything. Indexing seems to work fine, though, as the main index file (*.ci)
is about 115MB.

Anyone know why the search fails or how to find out? Uninstalling and/or
reindexing doesn't help.

I'm having nearly the same problem. It searches most everything except
Outlook 2003. It *was* working before! :(

Sorry to hear that. I havent found any solution yet, other than using Google
Desktop instead. But I want MSN Desktop :)

I have had the same problem where the indexing is no longer functioning. I
did notice that it probably occurred after I installed the new version. I
have one computer that I didn't update and the indexing works great. MS
hasn't returned my emails. there must be a patch or some other program
interferring with that index process. what that is I don't know but if you
find out please let me know. tks

It seems to me that the indexing works fine as the gathererlogs shows no
sign of ill health, but perhaps the search-engine searches the wrong
indexes?

I will post an answer here if I find one.
