I upgraded 2 computers to the Office 365 February update: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/What-s-new-and-improved-in-Office-2016-for-Office-365-95c8d81d-08ba-42c1-914f-bca4603e1426?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Ever since then search is broken in Outlook on both computers - any search returns no results. Windows 10 search outside Outlook works fine. I've rebuilt the index, used ScanPST.exe and tried other things at https://lookeen.com/blog/how-to-fix-outlook-2016-search-problems and https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Reset-indexing-by-rebuilding-your-Instant-Search-catalog-213a2728-0ef4-427a-9bb2-aed329a59b17 but the problem remains on both computers.
Did February 2017 Office 365 update break Outlook Search?

Hi Asa_214,
Please wait for the next Office Insider FAST update for the fix as what Gen mentioned above. You can temporary roll back your Outlook to get the search feature worked.
Thanks,
Aaron

@JFP, you did the right thing... and you will need to hold in there for just a while longer!
@Everyone else that are on Insider Fast build;
You will get the fix on the next Office Insider FAST update.
I do not know when that update will be available to you. We presently don't even have an internal forecasted date for it.
Plus, even if we did have a forecasted date I wouldn't tell you because it often changes and I wouldn't want to set false expectations. That's just wouldn't fair to anyone!
JPF, je te laisse savoir aussitôt que la mise à jour est disponible.
