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.

    Sorry for the repeated posts, but unfortunately after letting the Outlook reindexing run all night, the search feature still didn't work. I ended up calling Apple for help and because search wasn't working on Apple Mail either, they were willing to work with me. It ended up requiring me to re-index my entire hard drive, which we did by adding the hard drive into Spotlight/Privacy and then deleting it again. Within 90 min, the search feature in Outlook was working again (but ironically, the search in Mail still didn't work properly). In case it helps anyone else...

    When my Mac and Office 365 updated the problem disappeared. I think you maybe should update your OS to 12.31.1 and see if that works.

    I'm happy to report that my problem is now (finally!) fixed. I have a M1 Max 16" MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.1, and have been fighting this No Search issue in Outlook for both Contacts and emails. Following the instructions from a previous post, I changed my Update Channel in Preferences within Microsoft AutoUpdate to "Current Channel (Preview)". This found an update available that I downloaded and installed. I'm now on Outlook 16.57 (22010502), and Search function has been completely restored for both Contacts and emails.

    I tried but my outlook is still 16.56. Can you help?

    Same here. New Outlook 16.56 performs searches but the autofill address bar does not work. Cannot access Outlook contacts. It just does nothing like it's not a function of the application.

    Astounding! You pay good money for a product and basic functions are inoperable. Other than this forum, how is one to know there is a fix? This is a sorry way to do business. If I had a viable option I'd be gone!
