We just had another outage where users could not perform searches. We had three users log into OWA and none of us were able to perform searches there either.
Any further suggestions? Thanks, Geoff From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Michael B.

I think your idea of checking OWA next will be informative. Also, just to make sure, do you use "online mode" or "Cached mode" and what version Outlook is deployed?

In the last couple weeks Search within Outlook (also 2010) has stopped working intermittently. When the Search function stops returning results, anyone else I speak with confirms the same experience. I've tried researching online, but all the help articles that come up revolve around home users (using POP3 or IMAP) or they focus on PST files when running Cached Mode. We run Exchange in Online Mode so no PST files. When the issue occurs, I do not see anything on our mailbox servers in Event Viewer, the Exchange Search services are running on both nodes. Are there any other known issues or places to look when we face this issue? I just thought about checking OWA, which I have not done during the time Search is down-so I will test that as well, but if there are any other areas to look at in the interim, I would appreciate other's assistance.
