I recently downloaded the new Mac Ventura OS. Now my Outlook won't search email folders for the two weeks since I downloaded the OS. I deleted all the Office 365 files then downloaded a new batch. Problem persists. Unfortunately, I can't find advice specific to the Ventura OS.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did copy and paste -- twice.

    I'm very sorry you're having these frustrating issues. I know how maddening it can be. Unfortunately, I am far from an expert and I cannot provide any further advice. I was lucky enough that the fix posted by suddetuned worked for me right away. I know this is rudimentary, but just to be sure, did you copy/paste each command (making sure no extra spaces were copied)? That's all I can think of. Hopefully someone with more knowledge and experience will come along and help you. Good luck and best wishes.

    I get these error messages for both commands:

    Indexing enabled. 

    /System/Volumes/Data:

    Indexing enabled. 

    /System/Volumes/Preboot:

    Error: invalid operation.

    Error: unknown indexing state.

    This is driving me nuts. I'm going to return my new Mac Air over the weekend if I can't resolve this. I can't function in my work without being able to search emails. Apple referred me to Microsoft but I can't get through to support by phone.

    I got the same runaround but found the help I needed from AppRiver, which serves as our exchange. Took them a few tries, but they solved it, in the same way you all did (and they found this thread here to do it...LOL) Thanks

    System Preferences has been replaced in OS Ventura with System Settings, more like the iPhone set up. Spotlight does not show up this way. How to proceed in Ventura?
