Can not search default Contacts folder in Outlook

Problem: Users are not able to search the default Contacts in Outlook. Right-clicking and going to Properties/Outlook Address Book displays the "show this folder as an Outlook address book" field greyed out and unticked.

Solution:

• In Outlook, Choose Tools->Email Accounts...
• Select Add a new directory or address book, then click next.
• Select Additional Address Books, then click next.
• Choose Outlook Address Book from the list, then click next.
• You will have to close Outlook and open again for changes to take effect.
• You will then be able to select the Show this folder as an email Address Book from the Outlook Address Book tab within the Contacts properties
