Search always starts here immediately. However the display doesn't
change until the first message with a match is found. Watch the status
at the bottom of the Message Finder window, not the display.

Seems to me you have hardware problems such as too little available
RAM, slow hard drive, etc. If you are using a notebook with a 4200 rpm
hard drive and/or you have little _available_ RAM you are going to
have slow searches. Also, there may be limitations with your processor
functions if you have implemented various battery power saving
techniques. The status bar in Task Manager shows available RAM and the
Processes tab shows how you are using yours. If you have more that
30-40 processes running with high memory usage welcome to the world of
slow and unstable searches.
