HI everyone, I'm trying to search a huge contact list by fax number
since we use it to send mass faxes to our clients. My problem is I
cannot search by fax, if I enter a valid fax number nothing comes up.
This happens in Outlook 2003/2007.

Thanks!
 
State your search method.
All work fine here.

I open Outlook 2007, select contacts, then in the top right I enter
the fax number 555-1212 and press enter, it then says 'No matches
found for '555-1212'.
The actually number is entered as (901) 555-1212, even if I enter the
full number (901) 555-1212 still no luck. This also happens on other
workstations.

Thanks in advance!
 
No wonder. You're using Instant Search. It is buggy and unreliable. Try
Advanced Find.

Thanks I found it!

Although at first it didn't work until I selected to search All
Documents and not just contacts -- am I doing something wrong?
 
"All Documents?" That's not an option in any Advanced Find dialog I've ever
seen in Outlook 2007. Clarify where you see that. Are you starting your
search from your Contacts Folder?

Then under 'Look for:', if I leave it on Contacts it found nothing,
once I changed it to 'All types of Outlook item' then it started to

Well that's rather different than "All Documents." That would suggest you
aren't in the correct folder when you start your search.
If you notice, the Query Builder for Instant Search does not include Fax
fields. That's why you must use Advanced Find.

No. You've brought a completely different set of conditions into the
picture. I don't use Exchange.

Well that's rather different than "All Documents." That would
suggest
you
aren't in the correct folder when you start your search.
If you notice, the Query Builder for Instant Search does not
include
Fax
fields. That's why you must use Advanced Find.

I've
ever
seen in Outlook 2007. Clarify where you see that. Are you
starting
your
search from your Contacts Folder?

No wonder. You're using Instant Search. It is buggy and
unreliable.
Try
Advanced Find.

State your search method.
All work fine here.
You've provided no information.

HI everyone, I'm trying to search a huge contact list
by
fax
number
since we use it to send mass faxes to our clients. My
problem
is
I
cannot search by fax, if I enter a valid fax number
nothing
comes
up.
This happens in Outlook 2003/2007.
Thanks!
I open Outlook 2007, select contacts, then in the top
right
I
enter
the fax number 555-1212 and press enter, it then says
'No
matches
found for '555-1212'.
The actually number is entered as (901) 555-1212, even
if I
enter
the
full number (901) 555-1212 still no luck. This also
happens
on
other
workstations.
Thanks in advance!
Excuse my ignorance but how do I access the 'Advanced
Find'?
:)
Thanks I found it!
Although at first it didn't work until I selected to search
All
Documents and not just contacts -- am I doing something wrong?
Tools -> Advanced Find
Then under 'Look for:', if I leave it on Contacts it found
nothing,
once I changed it to 'All types of Outlook item' then it started
to
work..
Hey sorry for the delay but I finally tried it out and it didn't
work.
Does it matter that the contacts are located within public folders?
I tried it and it doesn't work -- any ideas or am I dong something
wrong?
Any suggestions? Repost this question ?

Will do.

Thanks for ALL your help Russ, you've been great!
