Everything worked out the same way, the solution was suitable.
Outlook for Mac in legacy mode V16.82. Sonoma V14.3.1

2024-02-15T14:35:58+00:00 Some of us are stuck with the new outlook. The spotlight solution does not appear to work. My search results are incomplete and inaccurate. Searches conducted by entering someone's name and using the autofill feature in the search bar come back with partial results. Same thing is I use the person's email address.

I keep hoping each update will address this but Microsoft seems disinterested. Search in the New Outlook is completely useless and there seems to be no viable solution. It's a dreadfully buggy programme all around.
