I have a new MBP M1, with fresh Monterey. I moved my data with the assistant from the old MBP, I have all the letters in Outlook (v15.46), but search in Outlook not works, it gives a "No results found" message in all folders. Old methods for reindex Spotlight is not working (eg. add and remove Main Profile to Spotlight). How can I solve this problem? Thanks

Today I deleted the Main Profile, remove all mail accounts, and made a new profile, and add a mail address. But the search still not works.

    So what fixed it for me, is something someone suggested several pages ago. I dragged the main disk icon to the Privacy tab in spotlight, closed the preferences window, opened it again and then removed the disk from there. After that it started to index and within about 30 mins to an hour I was getting SOME search responses and the next morning it was working perfectly.

    I had previously tried just moving the profile folder, but that did not work. I can only guess that there are files somewhere else in the disk that needed indexing.

    So the trick, for me, was to have spotlight reindex the whole disk.

    And now I have search results in Outlook in Mac Monterey

    Search works for me in the "New Outlook", but the new version still has too many missing features for my needs.

    I need the Search function fixed for the "Classic" Outlook.

    hello, thanks, but I use Outlook for Mac, v15.56, and it has no "New Outlook" button because this is the new Outlook. Spotlight search is working. It seems to be a Microsoft problem, because filters are also not working in Outlook
