Search problems

Wondering if anyone out there can help me. Entourage 2008 is not searching at all.

When I do a search it always comes up blank, even when it's something I can see in the window on top. I've tried both simple and complex searches, and neither works. I've set it up so that Entourage will use Spotlight. I can't set up any custom views (though the preinstalled ones work and can be edited). I've tried indexing the data, rebuilding the file. Nothing.

All help welcomed......

Wondering if anyone out there can help me. Entourage 2008 is not searching at
all.

When I do a search it always comes up blank, even when it's something I can
see in the window on top. I've tried both simple and complex searches, and
neither works. I've set it up so that Entourage will use Spotlight. I can't

Spotlight will index any cache files the Entourage daemon has created even
if the daemon is not launched, but no new cache files will be created until
the daemon is launched again. If the Microsoft Sync daemon never launches,
there's no way for Entourage to sync data with Sync Services.

Spotlight search (the one in the top right of the window) is blazing fast in
Leopard and Office 2008. The regular search box is improved, but you'll find
that using Spotlight search is worth the upgrade to 08.
