Outlook search yields no results

[frederico roldao]

I have Vista Home Premium and Outlook 2007.

Suddenly Outlook stopped yielding search results, even if the search term
exists in the emails in the folder where I'm doing the search. What could
have happened?

Perhaps the index got somehow corrupted? I trust you've rebooted the
machine since noticing the issue?

Yes, I've rebooted. Should I use Scanpst?

try to rebuild the index, maybe this will help...

or take a search tool, much better than instant search..
