We have an exchange 2007 backend with 2003 clients on the desktops. Seems like when we use the built in "find" feature within the outlook clients the results are old or there are no results at all. I checked most of the settings and offline exchange mode is disabled , cached outlook is too disabled we dont use ost files. I have reinstalled the client , redid the profile. It seems like it might be a server issue not sure though.

What is the state of your content indexing on the Exchange server?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Geezup, Per my known, Outlook 2003online mode search uses Exchange Search by using pre-built indexes, and reverts to using Exchange store search if Exchange Search is not available.
