WDS: Finding as much email as Google's Desktop search?

Windows Desktop Search does not seem to find as many items (specifically
email) as Google's desktop search. I maybe wrong, but WDS would not find
email that I know I had put in a a "saved" folder in Outlook.

Is this a known issue or something on my end?

Thanks, Paul

Check your settings to ensure you have that folder marked for indexing.

Click on Desktop Search Options | Indexing | Browse and select the folders
you want to index from the tree view.
Be sure to expand your mail folders to ensure you are indexing the folders
you want.

hth,

Jeff
