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 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

    Hi Rebecca,

    I just realised that the filters also not work is Outlook. So I think it can be some database problem. Is there a method to repair or rebuild the Outlook database? repair tool is not working with Monterey and this outlook version.
