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.

    And we’re you able to get search results?

    I had the Mac desktop version. Not the subscription model. Bought from Apple.

    Mine had a toggle in the upper menu bar. Toward the right. Said “new Outlook”. When you toggle it, it tells you it will convert file. Didn’t take long. I had to restart Outlook after.

    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.

    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.

    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
