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.

    Hi Rebecca,

    I have tried "New Outlook" it works fantastically for search option but the other functions like "Notes", "to do" get worst in this version. one single NOTE get divided in 2-3 parts so that is so pathetic experience for user. So do you have any solution for that?

    However, I would like to add that, even after updation to Monterey 3 months back, the search option was working nicely but 3 days back, I got my OS (Monetery) reinstalled from apple service centre and then reinstalled OUTLOOK and then this "search error" got started so I am so surprised .

    I have tried all the ways suggested on google but no success, so I really appreciate if you give a best and workable solution for the same.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Rebecca,

    If Microsoft has really NO solution then should I go further for renewal or not?

    Will it be investment or in-waste-ment?

    Please advise.

    Thank you to those who have asked this question. Like Rebecca, the search feature was working fine until I did the last update to Monterey two or three days ago. The search feature works with the online version, but it does not on my MacBook Pro laptop version. I have tried to remove the information from Spotlight under Privacy, but nothing was there. I wanted to add the link I've seen in answers, but it was for Outlook 16, 19, or 21, but not 365. I am very eager to get this fixed. Your help is appreciated because I cannot find any other options.

    What a shame and sham that MS set up a product that doesn’t work with Apple’s new Mac Books. This is a rip off. The Mac OS has been out for six months and MS has done nothing. You can’t even find a person to call and talk to. Very bad service.
