After you finish index population, go to the Full Text Indexing tab of the Exchange public folder store's properties sheet, and select the checkbox that allows clients to begin searching.
While you're at it, set the Update Interval option. Updating the index isn't nearly as big of a deal as the initial population, but I don't recommend using the Always Run option, because it can be fairly resource intensive.
I recommend you run the update hourly or daily. An hourly update will keep the index more up to date, but will be more resource intensive. A daily update will be less resource intensive, but the indexes will not be as current.
It is best to run a daily update late at night so that the indexing process does not slow down the server during work hours.
