in outlook 03, there is a button ‘find’ then if u click that, you will see a field
LOOK FOR:   

then if u type what u search in the LOOK FOR field, then it searches.  my question is how to clear the words that u put it into the LOOK FOR field.  if u click the down arrow next to LOOK FOR field, right before the SEARCH IN box, u will see the words that you just search, i want to eliminate that

i hope you understand what i m saying.  can someone help me?

if possible, i would like to turn off that data collecting feature in the find in outlook

anyone know how?

I understand what you are saying…..In windows xp I am having the same problem…Like doing a search under google it rememebers everything I type….

I hate it….I know at sometime it asked me if I wanted to do it and I clicked yes….Now I want it to go away…

in ie, it’s simple
u go to tools, internet options, content, autocomplete, then check off forms
then u can also clear the words that they collect by clear forms

I don’t use outlook, so I can’t exactly help you, but…you can try this:

1. Figure out the first word in the list
2. Open your registry
3. Do a search for that term

I am pretty sure that list will be stored in a registry key…just clear the key (don’t delete it) and the list will be gone…

Again, I am not sure if this is how outlook stores it, but its worth a 2 minute search. Don’t delete anything you don’t know in your registry.

Thanks a million Gameson…That was bothering me….

I knew it was somewhere…But I am sure you know its not so fun searching trying to find it when you have no clue where to start…

I found this online…not sure if it works…use at your own risk:

Outlook 2002 and 2003 support Autocomplete. When you send a new message or reply to one, the address is remembered by Outlook and the next time you send a message to that person, you can type just a few letters and it completes for you.
Occasionally, you’ll have a bad address in the cache or just have addresses in the list you don’t want saved and will want to remove them from the cache. To remove just one address use the arrow keys to select the address and press the Delete key. You can clear the entire cache by deleting the *.NK2 file for your profile. In Windows XP or 2000, it’s in the hidden folder C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Outlook will create a new NK2 the next time you use it.

Sounds reasonable though.

but that’s for address
what i m talking about is not address, it’s the find…
i give up, i spend my sleeping time for this stupid stuff

i post my q in outlook forum.  let see what they have to say

Outlook Express…and Palm Desktop.

Erik

Good night Erik….I can’t believe you stay up so late….

I found these when I type “autocomplete” in the question field of Olook 03

Delete a name from the AutoComplete list

1.Select the unwanted name using the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW.
2.Press DELETE.

there are also many other answers. :mrgreen:

Thats the same way you delete entries (individual) for Internet Explorer…I assumed it was tried…gameson did you try that first?

Erik

[quote author=“gAmEs0n”]yap, i did. i always try simple stuff first….

Figured as much…well, did you get a reply from the other boards?

You know, for a small fee (I think its about $100) you can call Microsoft and they will explain how to do it

Erik

[quote author=“gAmEs0n”] they will know what keywords that i use to search, u know…

I guess we won’t go there, huh?
