Indexing problems Outlook - Windows 11

I am delighted to report that for me, everything now seems to be working perfectly. It took about 3 days to complete the indexing of about 340,000 items. There were some strange events along the way:

1. After about 84,000 items had been indexed, I was told that indexing was complete, but it wasn't. Some time later it started again, but after about 137,000 items had been indexed, the figure suddenly reduced to around 24,000 but after a while things started up again from that point.
2. At around 161,000 items, again I was told that indexing was complete, but after a while, again it started up again.
3. For a large part of the time, I was being told that indexing had been paused, but despite this, the number of items being indexed, continued to increase.

I have done email searches and these are bringing up recent and the latest email received as well as the very oldest one. To me that implies that everything is well again.

For me, I say a big thank you to Microsoft for finally fixing this long standing issue. John L G

Hi John LG - I had more or less the same result. However, after thinking all was now fixed I have realised that it is still not indexing new items and the number of items waiting to be indexed is continually cycling aroung 3500-5000+ and Outlook index is just steadily increasing the items waiting to be indexed. The only way I have found is to keep rebuilding the whole index which is very time consuming but is now much quicker than before the last win11 update.

So I suggest you look again at the status of your indexing, will be very pleased for you if it is still fully indexed!

Nothing has been fixed, don't believe fake reviews!!!!

yes you are right. Nothing has been fixed, still have problem in search index.

Mine now remains fine. Seems we are all seeing different results
