I have been offnet most of the evening. I took my darling wife out to eat for out shared birthday. I rebooted my computer and reloaded Microsoft outlook from an Office 2007 Professional disk to see if search function there. 2007 Professional was a very stable operating system. Search functioned well there.
I contacted Microsoft Tech support and asked them to correct the search function. A knowledgeable tech assistant asked if the registry had been checked. After about 15 minutes of testing and checking, Lizzie, disabled windows search. That seemed to be the culprit. With windows search disconnected Outlook search functions. A fix for this bug will be included in the next windows/office update.
Ironically, before I was terminated from my consulting position at LMI as the Affordable Care Act was implemented on June 30, 2013. I had a knack for quickly finding bugs in complex mathematical algorithmic programs which were developed for the government and friendly governments. It was always better to find bugs before delivery.

Thanks for sharing and best to you and your family Colonel. I first got a PC for kids in 88, an Apple II GS. A waste of cash IMO. Had large and small floppy drives, and you inserted the operating system in the 5.25. Later got a Pentium 233. Heard about internet, so signed up for AOL around 91. Had a 14.4 modem, later 28.8. Think it had Windows 3.11 or similar. Moore's Law is germane to progress since then. Best wishes.

Thank you my friend CWO3 (Join to see) for sharing a summary of your history with personal computers.
I mentioned to one of my adult sons that Apple users tended to be artists, musicians, etc ..and often were die hard users. I have stuck with Windows for good or ill :-)
"Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years" and the cost is halved is still roughly appropriate for hardware.
Operating systems is another matter. You mention Windows 3.11 which had a visible DOD window that I first learned DOS hot keys that still work to some extent in Windows 10 [not my favorite OS]

Bringing back some memories here. Our first home computer in 1985 was a Commodore 128 with dual floppy drives. Liked it because it was a system closer to the computers I had at work but didn't cost close to the amount that the mainstream computers did. If I recall we looked at Zenith and IBM home systems before going with Commodore.

I borrowed a Commo 64 around that time. It took 1/2 hr to write the code just to get a pixel color show similar to screensaver. I think the 233 had 4 meg of ram. The IIGS had a 40 meg hd. I was lost on an IBM AS400 until I played with it some. All trial/error. Fun to pull data in from 400 with ODBC into MS Access for reports.
