Search no longer works in Outlook. When I try to type something in the search field, it 'flashes' and nothing is entered. This morning there was both an Outlook and a Windows update.
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

I think I've tried everything and it's still broken.
I'm going to see if I can get help from MS support, as this appears to be an issue with 365.
Hi, Brandon. Crazy workaround, but it worked for me as well! Thanks for the tip!
Does this issue also occur if you search from Outlook.com on the web? The Outlook In App support teams for both classic Outlook and New Outlook have gotten support tickets on this. The teams are working on getting it escalated.
Works for me too. As for the other issues with outlook such as passwords, primary and default accounts? Still a mess.
I have the same problem. I tried the new Outlook, and it allowed me to type in the search box, but after I clicked search/hit enter, it came back with "Something went wrong. Please try again later."
So I tried Outlook.com from a Firefox browser and that search worked for me.
