One of my complaints about Outlook with Business Contact Manager (BCM) has been the responsiveness of the program. It has been sluggish for me – sometimes pausing for extended periods of time. It was getting annoying enough that I was starting to look for a new solution.

In my case, the main cause of this sluggishness appears to be Windows Desktop search indexing. I have turned off the indexing for a couple of days, and BCM has been very snappy.

This presents a little bit of a dilemma for me because I regularly use the search feature. If I can’t find a way to correct this, I may have to go to a third party search utility. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
