HI everyone, I'm trying to search a huge contact list by fax number since we use it to send mass faxes to our clients. My problem is I cannot search by fax, if I enter a valid fax number nothing comes up. This happens in Outlook 2003/2007.

I open Outlook 2007, select contacts, then in the top right I enter the fax number 555-1212 and press enter, it then says 'No matches found for '555-1212'. The actually number is entered as (901) 555-1212, even if I enter the full number (901) 555-1212 still no luck. This also happens on other workstations.

Excuse my ignorance but how do I access the 'Advanced Find'? :)

Thanks I found it!
Although at first it didn't work until I selected to search All Documents and not just contacts -- am I doing something wrong?
"All Documents?" That's not an option in any Advanced Find dialog I've ever seen in Outlook 2007. Clarify where you see that. Are you starting your search from your Contacts Folder? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]

Tools -> Advanced Find Then under 'Look for:', if I leave it on Contacts it found nothing, once I changed it to 'All types of Outlook item' then it started to work..
Well that's rather different than "All Documents." That would suggest you aren't in the correct folder when you start your search. If you notice, the Query Builder for Instant Search does not include Fax fields. That's why you must use Advanced Find. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]

Hey sorry for the delay but I finally tried it out and it didn't work. Does it matter that the contacts are located within public folders?
