Why does Outlook quit matching email address after it searches the GAL ...

even though I have my contacts listed as an address book? Only way it
continues on to the contacts list is if it doesn't find a match in the GAL.
Say I type in smith - well, it finds all the smiths in the GAL, but never
even bothers to search the other locations I have told it to. This is very
anti-productive!
 
For performance reasons, Outlook searches address lists sequentially and
stops searching after it finds a match. If you tell us your version of
Outlook, we can tell you how to make your personal Contacts folder the list
that OUtlook searches first.
 
I know how to change the search order. Just wish it would continue and give
ALL the matches in the search list!
