Since your OS is Vista, is that finding messages which were stored by WinMail,
your OS native mail and news reader?

Perhaps you need to modify Windows Search to index the WLMail message store?

Use the Windows Search to check if the search results you are getting
are for the WLMail message store. If not, that would explain your symptom.

FWIW I'm not on my Vista partition right now and I don't have
WLMail installed on it any way, so if you need help customizing
the Windows Search index for WLMail use you're more likely to find
it in a Vista newsgroup. Cross-posting to one for convenience.

Also, I think it may be relevant to know if you have WS 4.0
but I'm not sure how we check for that other than by looking
at the versions of the search*.exe programs and knowing
what other Vista users have too.

E.g. here is what I see on XP for its WS 4.0 versions:

<cmd_output OS="XPsp3">
F:\WINDOWS\system32>filever search*
f:\windows\system32\searchfilterhost.exe
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.16503 shp 87,552 05-26-2008 searchfilterhost.exe
f:\windows\system32\searchindexer.exe
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.16503 shp 439,808 05-26-2008 searchindexer.exe
f:\windows\system32\searchindexer.exe.mui
----- W32i APP ENU 7.0.6001.16503 shp 8,192 05-26-2008 searchindexer.exe.mui

Hi Robert,
I just did a test search for something I only anticipated to be in WLMail. I
entered the keyword in the Start > Start search box. I found that you are
right. There were about a dozen entries for WM but neither of the 2 that are
in WLiveM. Now I know those a re useless searches that way. :-)
As for which version of Windows Search, I have no idea how to find that out.
Thanks for your response.
As an update, today searches seemed to be more productive. They seem to be
finding often all the relevant emails in WLiveM.
Thanks, again.

So, to be clear, that's the Ctrl-e filter in WLMail which is now working better
and now finding messages based on content as well as header information?
Then that would probably just mean that the index wasn't up-to-date when
you first noticed your problem symptom.


> Thanks, again.


You're welcome. Happy to help.

Are you using the "Find a message" word-wheel or the Edit > Find
(Ctrl-Shift-F) search? They work in different ways.

In XP, you can only see the version at Control Panel > Add or remove
programs > Windows (Desktop) Search. Since Windows Search is an
integral part of Vista, this may not be the case. The latest version
is WS4, so far as I am aware.

The WLMail team have thoughtfully provided a 'Sentinel' to check
whether your Store folder is being indexed. In this folder (see its
location at [Tools >] Options > Advanced > Maintenance > Store
folder) is a folder called Sentinel. It should contain a single
file, WLMailSearchSentinel.eml. Open this with Notepad; copy the
string it contains (after the content-type) and paste it into your
Search deskbar. If this throws up the file you've just visited, then
WS is indexing your store folder. If it doesn't, it's not.

Hi Noel,
I don't know anything about those 2 search methods. At least they do not
sound familiar. What I have been doing is entering my keywords in the Search
box (in WLiveM) that is above the list of emails.
I've checked in Control Panel but don't find anything relating to WSearch.
Anyway, thanks for your tips here.

Hi hope someone can help me with a search problem. I have just started using
Windows 7 with Windows Live Mail.
As a training establishment I often have emails and documents with a course
date listed in the content of the mail or doc. not necessarily in the subject
or title.

Previously when searching for a document or emails I could just type in
word in the search box at start area on my desktop page and I would get all
emails and docs pop up with that word or date in it. I have done an exercise
knowing there is a particular document in My Documents relating the a course
on the 26th May however just typing that into the search area i.e. 26th May
it does not come up Can anyone help make my searches easier..please.
