Search doesn't work?

[HCDZ]

I'm using Outlook 2003, and when I try to search (using either the regular or
advanced search), it doesn't work. It never finds anything. What gives?

Which OS? What type of email account?
Have you tried Detect and repair?
If you search with no criteria in advanced find, does it find anything?

I'm using Windows XP, Service Pack 3. I don't know what type of e-mail
account it is.

I tried Detect & Repair and it didn't fix it.

If I don't use any criteria when searching in Advanced Find, I see all my
mail.

Thanks in advance!

Hey

I do not really know how to fix this problem. But if I were you, I would
forget about the mail-search which is already in outlook and install a new
one. In google you can simply type in "outlook search tool" to find a lot of
different tools. I am using lookeen (www.lookeen.com) which is very useful,
but of course you have the choice.
