Question

NEED Windows Live Mail help with searching email content!!

by asheq-r Oct 24, 2011 12:56PM PDT

Hey guys
I have had Windows 7 (64 bit) for a while now and have been
using Windows Live Mail (2009 Build 14.0.8089.0726) for the last one
year. I could always search any email from the search tab within Windows
Live Mail. However, ever since yesterday none
of my searches were coming up. When I looked into it, only searched
words in the "Subject lines" showed up and not the words in the email
content. I know that I did not install any new programs or
any significant updates recently.
I also checked the Windows indexing option and found that filter extensions
eml, nws and rss are all selected. However beside these extensions the
filter descriptions says "Registered IFilter Is Not Found" where it
should say "Windows
Live MIME filter". How can I FIX this?

FYI: I know updating Windows Live mail to the 2011
version might solve this, however I do not like that version. Also
things were working great until yesterday so looking for a fix.
Appreciate it!
