Why do I have better luck searching for names?

When I search for names I do ok. But it seems a search for an e mail address never works. Why is that? It's like Entourage can't parse e mails well

Are you using the Quickfilter (serach box on the top of the window) or
the Search command??

The QuickFilter doesn't index e-mail addresses.

I'm using the little box on upper right? It does not search e mail? why not?
thanks

That's not a Search box per se, but a quick filter. It filters the
content of the mailbox being displayed and that's it.
It can do so based on name or subject, but not e-mail address.

If you want to find an e-mail based on an e-mail address, you need to
use the Search command in Entourage (ENtourage 2008 is different BTW),
