Question asked on Jul 16, 2014

I'm running WLM 2011 under Vista.  In the past, when I typed a word into the Search box, WLM would first look at e-mail addresses (or aliases) and subjects, and then go into messages to find the search term.  I complained about this once, as it made a very long list of messages that would have to be gone-through to find the one I was looking for.

But now WLM returns very few results anymore.  Unless the search term is someone's e-mail address or a word in the Subject line, I get nothing.  What changed, why, and is it possible to search through all e-mail messages to find a certain term?
