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.

    What bologna. Obviously there's a problem at your end or we wouldn't all be facing the same issue. Stop wasting our time with non-fixes and find out what's wrong and update Outlook. It is a real drag not being about the search my mail files, and I'll just have to use Apple Mail if the problem persists.

    MS customer service asks you to to a lot of things that take hours to do and they don’t work. You can not even get a live person on the phone.

    It sucks.

    Same here with me

    It's not a Mac Model thing as I tried it with an i7, a M1 Air and the new M1 Max. It happened with the last Microsoft Office Update 16.56 on Monterey 12.1.

    What is really annoying: It's the third or forth time that this is happening in a few years. Obviously Microsoft has some really lazy development and testing guys for Mac ...

    Shame on you MS...

    Dear Rebecca, thanks for your letter. I already made everything what is in this article. I think Spotlight search is in order, because if I search with Spotlight outside from Outlook, it works. The problem is with Outlook, as I sad, filters are also not working in Outlook. Filters also use Spotlight?

    In every article they talk about Outlook 2016 or Outlook 2019, I do not know this numbers, I use Mac Microsoft Outlook v16.55 (21111400).

    Please write me a mail address and a list what should I sent to you. thanks
