SYMPTOMS
If you use the Advanced Find tool in the versions of Microsoft Outlook listed at the beginning of this article to search one or more folders located on a Microsoft Exchange Server computer, the search may never finish. This problem does not occur when you use the Advanced Find tool to search folders located in a set of personal folders (.pst file) or in an offline storage file (OST).

Note that this problem only occurs when you are using version 5.5.2363.0 or later of the Emsmdb32.dll file, but earlier than version 5.5.2397.0.

<div class="cause_section">

CAUSE
This problem occurs when the Emsmdb32.dll file does not notify the server that the search has finished.
