I, too, have a variation on this theme. I haved a new clean install of Vista
and of Office 2007 Standard. In Outlook any search produces the message
"Instant search encountered a problem while trying....." I have run Scanpst
on the file and tried to reindex in the Control Panel. The problem there is
that in Indexing Options it says that Indexing is not running and evrything
else is greyed out, so I cannot get indexing restarted. I am hoping someone
here can help me (and evidently others) with this.
