I would suggest trying the preview of Windows Search 4, which updates the
Vista indexer with a newer version with many bug fixes:

Let us know if that gets things working.

I just downloaded the V4 Beta and nothing has changed for me. I have had the
partially indexed message for some months. I have recently been trying to
get the Control Panel>Indexing Options to rebuild my indices but it gets a
few hundred documents into the rebuild and hangs up. Windows Task Manager
(Vista) reports that 'Indexing Options' is not responding and I have to abort
it. I cannot restart 'Indexing Options' until I RESET my computer.
Naturally this is quite time consuming and I am looking for relief!
Any further help on this topic would be appreciated.

Run the utility to repair the Outlook data file. It is probable that there
are some file errors that are causing Outlook itself no problems are causing
indexing to fail.
This might be useful:

Tom,
Please pardon the delay in responding to your suggestion. I also had a
problem with my Outlook reminders not working and after a week or so getting
that straightened out and having minor surgery last week, I am now ready to
get back to the indexing.
I have run scanpst.exe several times. In addition, I moved a couple of
older .pst files to another drive. I still only get a couple of hundred
files indexed before the rebuild loops. I have tried limiting the indexing
to just Outlook or just my documents on the C drive and still get the hangup.
In addition, when I do this it seems to always reset to the defaults when I
reboot.
Something is drastically wrong with this application. Is there anyway to
get a log file out that would show the last record indexed or some other way
to detect what is wrong?
Thanks for your help.

I have exactly the same problem as in the thread. The suggestion to access a
fixer for .pst and .ost files points to a fix for Outlook 2002, whereas I
believe Outlook 2007 is what this thread is about. In any event I am using
Outlook@2007 (12.0 6300 5000) SP1 MSO 12.0 6213.1000
and have all updates installed for Vista as of the date of this posting.
The files referred to by this link do not seem to appear in an explorer
listing for this Vista/Outlook installation.
Where is the 'fix' programs for Outlook 2007 stored? I see only one lonely
..DLL at this location.

Installing Search 4 worked (KB940154) It is not clear why this is not part of
the normal windows update process. Any ideas? Or am I misssing something?
This has been quite frustrating for the last month or so..

Windows Search 4 will ultimately be available through Windows Update, but
right now {being very recently released} it is only available through direct
download. I'm glad this fixed your issues though {note I also replied to you
on another thread}.
