Creating search folders for shared folders in Outlook 2007

Well I've had issues trying to create an all docs view in shared folders in Outlook 2007 using cached mode.  Eventually I worked out with the assistance of this link that to create the search you must do the following:
"Go to Tools->Instant Search->Advanced Find
    Create Search Criteria and hit Find Now
    Go to File->Save as Search Folder

The above steps would ONLY work for me if ALL of the following were also true:

    On the Advanced Find screen, click Browse
    Select the check box for the shared mailbox I wish to search
    ALSO Select the check box for the Inbox underneath the shared mailbox I wish to search
    ALSO select Search Subfolders at the bottom of the dialog box"

However this didn't quite fix the problem. The additional thing I discovered was that the option "Download Shared Folders" when using cached mode must be disabled for this to work.
