Hi, I want to understand the relation between outlook advanced find and Exchange indexing. If don't have Exchange Indexing enabled, will advanced find work or not. In my case, I have disabled Exchange Full-indexing, but in advanced find I am able to see some results. These results are not accurate(I am mean it is not showing all results). I am just wondering from where Outlook advanced find will get the search results?Thanks, Sitaram www.sitaram-pamarthi.com

Here is a useful article that may help you understand what is going on here! http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Full-Text-Index-Information-Store.html

Hi, Full-text indexing allows your users to perform full-text searches across documents and attachments in messages that are stored in the mailbox database. In Outlook, cached Exchange mode doesnt use Full-text indexing, only online mode and OWA use it. I suggest you read the following articles: Understanding Exchange Search (this is for Exchange 2007, but the principle is the same) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232132.aspx How does Outlook 2003 Cached Mode leverage Exchange 2003 Full-Text Indexing? http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2005/07/22/408103.aspx Microsoft Whitepaper "Best Practices for Deploying Full-Text Indexing" http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d7d73256-459c-4b5e-827f-256fa21dd38a&displaylang=en Hope this helps.
