I don't know what 'address book provider' means. however, explain what different results will mean, and how this will solve the problem

I created a new contact form, with all same info, addresses, etc. except a different first name. same last name. also rebuilt index. searching on my last name returns the email properties. doesn't offer the new contact with same last name. I changed the new contact first name to my real...

that link goes to same site as the last link you sent. 'ignite'. Now they tell me my account has been suspended, because an automated system didn't like it. really? When doing search for info, I generally avoid any MS related sites. Rarely saw useful answers. Mostly people frustrated by...

what a POS website. I replied to a comment. Then tried to edit my comment, but edit didn't work. Then saw that it deleted my reply, for some not clarified reason. also tells me I am not authorized to 'make this response." Wow

Here is the link Microsoft Ignite.. We'll if anything comes of it.

#1 shows my name in list of contacts assuming I am in the appropriate contacts folder. . clicking on it brings up my contact. no surprise there. I mentioned it earlier. If I am in calendar or mail, it doesn't show contacts. #2 gives the same email properties, regardless of which search people...

I was about to post a screenshot when I realized that there already is a screenshot in Diane's post above. about the links that you posted, they seem to be about accessing the email properties window. I don't want to access it. I want it to not appear when clicking my name in a people search.

@Diane Poremsky, Have any other advise?

this is what i see when clicking 3 dots on contact form.

That is the email properties window that I am referring to. clicking the 3 dots on my contact form (which I retrieve from contacts list), I don't see 'add' or 'edit' or any of the items that I see in your pic. I items like 'email' 'address book' 'check names', etc . thing is, this is new...

More than one account? meaning email account? I selected several email accounts, and tried searching. same response.

though, it seems odd that search is broken on both computers.

I tried changing spelling of my name. People Search returned the same 'email properties' window with the original spelling. I emailed myself a copy of my contact form, then deleted me from the list of contacts. Closed and re-opened Outlook. People Search still showed me in search list and...

Diane, I tried emptying the autocomplete cache from file>options>mail. didn't change the error. When in contacts folder, if I search on my name, I get a list of contacts that have my name in them, and "in folder" field indicates that my contact is in contacts folder, doesn't say "recipient"...

thanks. I will not be able to try any of this until later tonight or next day. will get back to you with results. thanks.

Using classic outlook '24, on win11. That one contact is my own contact form. Searches for other names work fine. Enter name in people search field, click on name and get the contact form. But for me it just returns the 'email properties' window I had a similar problem about 6 months ago...

Whoa!!! After I replied to you, above, I tried Outlook again, both on Win10 and Win11 machines. Now people search is working again, in its usual round about way (why would we need to 'press enter' to search when entering something in a search bar???). They had not been working for several...

thanks diane. the win11 outlook is ver 2410 (build 18129.20158 click to run) current channel win10 is the same. both are set to not update (as all of my software, except antivirus. Updates are done manually, towards end of month). the last couple of months, when I let them attempt to...

when using the 'search people' box to find contact, the box with 'press enter' comes up. When I press enter, the box disappears and name clears from search. I am finding this behavior on both the win10 and win11. I upgraded one computer to win11 on Monday, after which I synced the win10...

Success!! Changing the data file default fixed it. Sorry that I didn't think of this before, though I believe that I did try it without success. Maybe I tried changing to wrong folder? anyway, it work now. Thanks for sticking with this. jeffrey
