Did February 2017 Office 365 update break Outlook Search?

Anonymous

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.

Hello everyone,

There is an updated build that was just released. Please turn auto updates back on, install the latest build & confirm that it fixed the issue.

Hi Peter,

I understand your feeling. Apologize for the inconvenience it causes in your daily work.

Please monitor the excel forum for future updates.

Thanks,

Brook

Hi Brook Zhang,

in the meantime I reported 2 bugs related to Excel in the Excel forum.

This means, Microsoft is faster in creating buggy Office versions than in replying to bug reports.

Regards
