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.

    I'm having the same issue with Monterey 12.1. I've tried all of the normal fixes with no luck. I have a complete lack of Search within Outlook 16.56.

    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

    Hi ImreMorocz,

    According to your description, you can’t search in Outlook and you have already re-indexed Spotlight. There are many other reasons for Outlook Search not working such as the wrong profile name and so on. You can try following steps according to Outlook for Mac search returns "No Results," and task items are not displayed (microsoft.com)  and check whether it will work or not.

     

    If nothing works, you can provide me some screenshots about where & what steps you tried and the result of typing something in search blanks. I will test for you.

    Regards,

    Rebecca

    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
