If your computer was running slowly that day only, it's likely due to the fact that the install/indexing process was eating up most of your system resources. It's never a good idea to install something while you're in a hurry to do something else. Remember that your computer is sharing resources among every process that is running - some (like an install process) eat up a lot of resources, leaving less for everything else.
I can't tell from this article - but did you try "advanced find" under the tools menu in Outlook? You can run a more detailed search that way, and get better results.
