I’m running Outlook 2011 and I can no longer search my contacts. I search for contacts I know to be in my contact list but nothing is displayed when conducting a contact search. Please help! :(

Hi everybody.

Thanks in advance to anyone can help this is a problem that has plagued me for a while now to no avail.

I'm running a MacBook Pro Lion 10.7.5 with Office 2011 (Outlook) for Mac.

I have a large contact list as my account/identity is for a business. Being able to search the contacts list is very important and saves me a lot of time.

Unfortunately for some time now I have not been able to search the contacts on my Outlook at all.

It doesn't matter what I type, a contact first name, last name - the contact search yields zero results for anything. My contacts run at over 1000 - so clearly there is information there, but for whatever reason Outlook will not allow me to search the contacts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is a big ongoing logistical problem for me, please help!

Thank you.
