Search no longer works in Outlook.

Thank you Ploquit! It worked! I only waited about ten minutes and it had 144 things there to clear. Thank you very much for posting directions with pictures. I saw that advice in a list of things to try but I had no idea how to do that and I was worn out from trying. But yes, it works! I'm so happy because I really depend on search daily! Almost forgot to say, I didn't do it in the app, I did it signed in online at Outlook.com. Thank you! :)

This makes perfect sense. I will try it.

On web seems OK.

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.

So far it has only affected my email search on the Outlook App. I have another email account through Outlook and search works in the App there but that is of no help for my primary account. I'm not the OP, I'm just telling my experience. I spent hours trying numerous fixes that did not work. So now I am using Outlook online but I have seen other people mention in the past that search failed for them both online and in the app. So I'm sure hoping it doesn't start happening online too. I really depend on search. I really, really need it. It seems that since so many people are having this problem right around the same time, that it's not on our end. Thanks and best wishes.
