I have been trying out the new office 2007 Pro for a week.

Today in Outlook I tried the search. When I typed out a word that I new
existed in an email search still could not find anything?

IE: I have a folder called "saved" where I keep all my saved stuff. If in
the search box I type something I know what is there search cannot find
it???

"Am I doing anything wrong"?

Click the dropdown arrow at the right end of the Search box and choose
Search Options. Make sure that Indexing and Search options are set correctly
for where you're searching.

I have done that Herb and it still does not seem to make any difference.

Search does function to some sort of degree, but it can not find anything in
my saved folder.
This is not too much of a problem at the moment as I do not have huge
amounts of stuff there at the moment, but as time goes by I feel that it
could become a problem as my saved folder builds up.
If the search part worked right it would be brill, but I would like to
finish by saying all in all I am very happy with the new Outlook.

Search worked initially for me. But, then it started to return no matches no
matter what I search for.

I un-installed and re-installed Outlook from scratch and now search works
fine.

The only thing that I can think of that may have caused this problem is that
I installed Google desktop, which at the time (early January) was not
properly integrating into Outlook. Maybe that broke something?
