After I downloaded the Mac Ventura OS, my Outlook is not searching email. Advice?

Anonymous

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.

When I run extended attribute list: ls -Leo@ I see the following

drwxr-xr-x 4 steve 128 Dec 16 08:27 Backup of Main Profile

drwxr-xr-x@ 23 steve 736 Jan 26 07:36 Main Profile

com.apple.quarantine 22

The com.apple.quarantine 22 is on a separate line. Does the mean that my "Main Profile" is quarantined? The issue that I am having is that search in Outlook Mac is not returning all the correct search results. It only returns some items, not all of them. I have follow the instructions earlier in the thread where I have turned off spotlight and then turned it on again, added the folder to privacy and then removed it to force a reindex. Do you think that applying the command

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine 'Main Profile'. will solve my issue?

Thanks

Amazing ... Thanks so much. This fix worked perfectly and my Outlook Search function is restored.

I also found it very easy to follow and implement. I wish all computer solutions were this simple.

I am very reluctant of these solutions in fora as I always think they would damage my MacBook but this ome really worked.
