In Outlook 2003, "Advanced Find" used to allow the searching of
subfolders in a shared mailbox (not a public folder, that I
understand.) In Outlook 2007, I cannot search the same mailbox's
subfolders that I used to be able to search in Outlook 2003. Is this
permissions? Removed functionality? I do have "Instant Search"
installed but it only allows searching on my personal mailbox. I do
not have the option to add the shared mailbox to the "Instant Search"
options.

I've googled and googled. Nothing. I think at least a handful of
people are looking for the same answer but I do not see a resolution
anywhere.

Please help!

Kelly

(Also, I'm not a genius but can generally find what I want with Google
in 2-3 searches)

Instant search will work (but slowly) on the secondary mailboxes but AFAIK
you can only search 1 folder at a time (same limitation as with public
folder search). what error do you get when you try to use instant search?
