Chapter 16. Searching for Outlook Items
Finding an item through the Outlook user interface is very easy. When the user types text in an area at the top of the current window, Outlook 2007 begins to search immediately. Performing a search programmatically is not quite as straightforward, because there are six different methods and two different syntaxes for writing search queries. This chapter reviews these different approaches, suggests when it is most appropriate to use each of them, and discusses the implications of the new indexed Instant Search feature in Outlook 2007. On Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server, the Instant Search feature requires Windows Desktop Search (WDS) 3.0. WDS installs automatically on Windows Vista.
