Outlook 2007 won't search in Inbox

L

Hi.

I'm having an issue wich just happend to "pop up" a few months ago.
When I use the searchfunction in the upper right corner of Outlook "Search
in Inbox" it wont find specific mails - If i search for 'FOO' and I know that
atleast 10 mails contain that exact phrase it usually just shows about 5 of
them.
I've not been able to narrow it down to any particular date or anything
alike, they just wont show up - but when I look through the box manually I do
find the mails I'm looking for, though it takes forever with ~ 3500 mails.

Best Regards
LP

Have you tried deleting the index and rebuilding it?
