For now, we will run the update on all of our own Vista installs and link to it in a broadcast e-mail to our Vista based client users. Not sure why that is as we would like to deploy the update to our Vista installations. The time it took to index everything was relatively short.Īn update search in the WSUS v3 SP1 console for "Windows Search" or "KB940157" turned up nothing. Narrow your search, or click here to view all results. Your search returned a large number of results. The solution turned out to be to download the new Windows Search 4.0, install, reboot, and let the indexer run.Īfter the reboot, and a short time with the system online, the search results were as follows: There are a number of somewhat relevant posts on the Vista圆4 Forums with no real resolution to the problem. Some Internet searching around did not turn up too much in the way of fixes for the problem. No matter what, and even on whichever Vista SP1 machine, the same results happened when searching for something in Outlook 2007. A direct correlation cannot be pulled as far as the why things broke, but if memory serves correctly, Vista Service Pack 1 was the Anti-Trust modification for the search feature ( Ars Technica) may be the culprit. It seems that the search feature was working fine at one point, then it became broken. Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed. Well, this Outlook/Vista problem has been nagging for a while, though not to the point where it was interfering with things. When things are crazy busy, we tend to put up with things until we have the time to fix whatever is nagging at us, or the problem is interfering with our workflow.
