Default Windows 7 32bit Q&A 1 Searching Offline Archives

Since we began the Outlook Team blog last June, we;ve been receiving lots of questions and suggestions, so thank you,Office 2007 Standard Key! Below are a few answers to questions that we hear with some frequency. If your question is not answered here,Office 2007, don;t worry,Windows 7 32bit, as we;ll be posting more answers in the near future. Search Offline Archives “I think I have found what I consider a pretty much disastrous flaw in Outlook 12's search capabilities: As far as I can see there seems to be no way to have Outlook index and search offline pst archives.” While it is true that Outlook cannot index and search archives (also known as PST;s or Outlook Data Files) that are offline or not shown in any Outlook profile, there are some workarounds to allow you to keep that data indexed. Vista;s indexing engine will index a PST if it is open in any profile, regardless of it being the active profile or not. Therefore,microsoft Office 2010 Serial, one workaround is to keep the PSTs open in a separate profile called “Archive." This will keep them indexed but out of your normal profile (i.e. you won't have to look at all of your old PSTs in your Navigation Pane), and when you need to find an old piece of mail you can switch to that profile to search in those PSTs. If you would like to avoid the hassle of configuring a profile,Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus, another workaround is to open most of the PSTs and use the Instant Search store selector to return results only from certain PSTs.  This way they will always stay up-to-date and ready to be searched when you would like to retrieve an item from them.  You can do this via the store selection drop down: Thanks!
