can not find a number in an email

[derksj]

Hi

I have an email with the number 50 20 53 29 in the body text

When i search for the number 50 20 53 29 in the search box outlook will not
find it
when i search in the search box without the spaces for 50205329 then outlook
will find the email

Greetings

Any details you'd like to share?
Also, how is the number formatted when looking at the HTML source or is this
a Plain Text message?

What happens when you search for it as a string?
"50 20 53 29"

We use windows xp sp3, outlook 2007 sp2 and exchange 2007

- The problem occurs when using the instant search box
- It happens even in a plain text message with only 50 20 53 29
- When i search for it as a string "50 20 53 29" it does not work either
- I can reproduce this with new messages
- It seems to happen only with numbers
- When using the menu Tools => Instant search => Advanced find, then the
problem not occurs
- The problem occurs only when searching folders located in Exchange (Inbox,
Sent Items, etc), but does not occur when searching within messages in a .PST
file.
