Hi, I finally fixed the problem on Windows 11 by simply going to:
Control Panel->Indexing Options->Modify->Unchecked "Microsoft Office Outlook"

Hi DIane
thanks for providing that link. I am assuming that this fix addresses the above issues? I have been a little nervous applying fixes in the past in case they cause other problems, but I will apply it iand hopefully it does in fact correct the outlook search issue.

I will try it and will see.
Thanks

Unchecking everything everywhere and restarting OUTLOOK 2007 using the EXIT command fixed it! Orlando418
