Searching in public contact folders

[Saucer Man]

We have our public contact folders in a structure similar to this...

Public Folders
Sales
Division 1
Region 1
Region 2
Division 2
Region 3
Region 4
Etc.

We are trying to search for certain contacts, by STATE for example, but the
search only finds the contacts in the folder we search. If we select All
Folders, the search also looks in the mailbox. How can we specify to search
in all Public Contact Folders only?

Public folders can only be searched one at a time. you'll need to use a
different search tool.
See http://www.slipstick.com/addins/search.asp for a list of possible tools.
