Simply changing this value to “0” and restarting the Outlook client and WDS and Instant Search were back up and running properly across all profiles. With a registry key named “PreventIndexingOutlook” set to a value of “1”, telling WDS not to search Outlook under any means.

Where else to begin but Microsoft’s documentation pertaining to Group Policy settings and Windows Desktop Search which can be found at:ĬomputerHKLMSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindows Search Doing a bit of digging around, it became apparent that I hadn’t disabled WDS, and the mail admins hadn’t done so either, so it was back to square one of looking through the registry to see what had been tweaked. Looking within the Search Interface, Windows Desktop Search was telling me that Indexing Outlook had been disabled by the System Administrator. So I uninstalled the plugin and wondered, “Will Instant Search work once more?” Negative, Instant Search was still disabled.

I also realized that this behaviour only became apparent after installing the Google – Outlook plugin.

While I understand Google’s intent is to be able to assist users in replacing their Exchange profile with their Google Apps e-mail profile with the sync plugin, there are those of us that will continue to use an Exchange profile and the Google Apps capability is a nice to have to be able to use the Outlook client interface.Īt first, I thought perhaps this was an Outlook client issue that had been affected by SP2 or some other cumulative update that was applied, however after doing a little Googling, it seemed that no one else had reported a similar experience. However, when changing profiles back to my Exchange profile, I find that the Instant Search is still disabled. I suppose this is to be expected since the Google Search engine has a better grasp of the mail stored in the depths of my Google Apps mail account and its 25 GB of space. After installing the plugin the drop down for Instant Search within the Outlook client is disabled. So it would seem that when installing the “Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook” plugin there’s a minor issue with the Outlook 2007 client’s Instant Search Capability.
