Outlook 2010 instant search not working
The instant search function on my outlook 2010 has stopped working.
I have previously had and then repaired this issue after the initial install of office 2010.
To solve the issue before I did the following.
Search tools > Search options > Indexing options > Modify
Deselect all selected options
Delete and rebuild index (advanced options) and restart machine
Reselect the folders to be indexed.
I have tried to repeat this process but I am unable to delete the MS outlook location
I cannot see the documents and settings folder in the C drive and therefore cannot navigate to User name / appdata / local / microsoft / outlook
I have tried changing the view setting in folder options (to show hidden files)
and I have tried opening outlook as an administrator
I cannot see how to to delete this indexed location
As I keep my PST file on a different partition this means that the search functionality has for the time being stopped completely.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
