Windows Search 4.0 and Outlook 2010 Issues

[Jim]

I recently installed Outlook 2010. After doing so I noticed the following
Windows Search 4.0 behaviors:

All the files on my hard drive indexed as did my .pst and mailbox files
associated with Outlook. I can open, drag and drop, and preview files that
are not associated with Outlook. Files indexed through Outlook can be
opened, but I cannot drag and drop, nor preview them. There is a message in
a yellow banner "Full preview of this item is not available unless Microsoft
Outlook is running." Obviously Outlook is running. The text of the message
is displayed in unformatted form. Attachments cannot be previewed at all. I
can work around this but it is a significant loss of functionality.

Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? If so, has anyone discovered a
fix for this?

I spent a half day yesterday with escalated Microsoft Technical Support.
After examination of numerous systems logs and traces it was concluded that
this is indeed a bug. I also pointed out that an Internet search would
substantiate my observations and findings. I was told that this issue will
be addressed and to expect additional information in six to eight weeks. I
am supposed to get an email when an update or solution becomes available. I
will keep this news group posted.
