WDS is not indexing my emails Pierre 06-11-2007

 Hello,

WDS is not indexing my outlook 2007 emails. While everything seems allright
(install ok, wds activated in outlook, pst file duly recognised by WDS...),
all searches within outlook end with a null result. WDS cannot seem to find
any email after a brief search...

I indexed and indexed again, I uninstalled and installed again... always the
same (absence of) result.

Can someone help me ?

Thank you very much.

Pierre

 I have this problem only with items in the root folder of .pst. Items stored
in folders and subfolders below the root are indexed all right. See my post
at:

Is this also your case?

Unfotunately not. All items, wherever they are in the .pst tree, are not
indexed. The whole content of the pst file is ignored...

I have exactly the same problem. Outlook 2007 emails-- I am not able to
search while in Outlook. I can copy and paste from an email into the search
bar and it returns nothing found. I will go back to Google Search as it
appears MS has no solution.

Yea, verily, it doesn't look like it works very well. In my inbox it can't
find email that I can see! Pathetic. Mind you, it's not just in Outlook
that it's failing - the desktop searcher can't find those emails either.
I'll be using Copernic, myself, but whatever.

So... Any acknowledgement that the problem even exists? Any hope that it
will ever be resolved? Any hope that there will ever be an easier way to
report bugs?
