    In work I use Outlook 2007 and I find the standard search rubbish. I look in my inbox and see a company name ABC littered throughout my inbox in the subject and body, but I search for ABC and only a fraction comes up.

    Ideally I’d like a very simple separate window that will do a thorough search of my inbox. Does anyone know anything like this?
    Thanks

    Make sure that the search index is not corrupt.

    Yoy could reset it if it is.

    No better search facility than outlook itself

    Thanks I think that's the case. I'm searching for stuff I can see in front of my and its not finding it.

    That link does not seem to do it for me - any ideas how to do this on windows 7?
