I must be missing something, but why can't you use Outlook for your search? Is it not installed? |

I skipped over Outlook 2007, but 2003 and 2010 can do complex searches, so I feel quite confident that 2007 can, as well. Maybe someone else with 2007 will give you some steps to follow, or you can simply check the Help file or look online for Advanced Find. Prepare to be happy. |

Not sure exactly what you are searching for... and I don't use Outlook - I use Eudora- but I gave up on Agent Ransack and now use IndexYourFiles.. it works on network and NAS drives and if you set it to update the indexes often (Mine every night) then it finds everything you own, no matter where it is.. It does text within files searches too albeit slower, but I think that is to be expected. Hope this helps someone Beamer Smith |

Latest version of Windows listed is Version 7. 2. Last update was over 1 year ago. Also, I didn't see any advantage over Agent Ransack. -- Sir_George |
