email search vista .eml - wlmd

Hi, I have a lot of eml emails that were created by the program
windows live mail desktop. search works fine from within that
program. but, I can't do a vista search and find any of these emails.
Anybody know what the problem might be? thanks.

You are hiding them from search. Search just searches a few places. See
indexing in Control Panel.

No I have the location checked.

Been experimenting some and here is what I found. Vista does index the
emails.
And it finds keywords within emails. But it doesn't find the author if you
search on author, the sender, for
example. Lets say I want to find all the emails sent from Smith1. If I type
in Smith1 in
the search field then hit the email button, it will not bring up any of the
emails sent
by Smith1. But, if Smith1 had a word "Philadelphia" in one of his emails,
and I then
searched on this exact word, vista would bring it up. I would say that there
is still some
work to do on this search integration.

Just tried this, and that works fine. Returns result for the
author/sender. I'm using Outlook 2007.

It must be something with the client.
