I have a new MBP M1, with fresh Monterey. I moved my data with the assistant from the old MBP, I have all the letters in Outlook (v15.46), but search in Outlook not works, it gives a "No results found" message in all folders. Old methods for reindex Spotlight is not working (eg. add and remove Main Profile to Spotlight). How can I solve this problem? Thanks
Uh oh....just did the Monterey 12.1 update this afternoon. The Outlook search problem is back....and I had just fixed it using ijose83's fix. I tried doing the ijose83 solution again, but to no avail. The search problem persists. Anyone smarter than me have any ideas? :)
Ugh. Same problem. Following.
I've tried all the re-indexing processes , even did a Mac OS re-install (but unfortunately it drops down 12.1 still) and none of these solutions work. Hopefully MS or Apple give us an update soon!
And ...New Outlook is not a solution , it is a mess in itself...the mind boggles that MS can make a version of Outlook that doesn't support exchange accounts never mind the "on computer" folders that are in effect the "PST's"
Same issue here. I setup my new 16" MBP M1 Max using target mode a few weeks ago and it worked fine. Setup another user using the same method and his indexing didn't work. Had to set the machine up from scratch for it to start working properly. We both ran the update today and now we're getting "No results". I did all of the suggestions from Microsoft and none of them work.
Yesterday I upgraded to Monterey 12.1 after which Outlook fails to search mail.
Im on the latest 12.1 Monterey and the latest version of Outlook V 16.56 (21121100) and my search has stopped working also as well as my smart folder which is supposed to show my flagged emails but now shows "No results"
The new macOS Monterrey 12.1 (21C52) broke the Spotlight search functionality in Outlook 16.56 (21121100). In the new Outlook UI, searching works perfectly fine in the new UI and so does Spotlight search via macOS. Spotlight does not work when it’s invoked from the old Outlook client for some reason (I’m not sure what systematic call fails.)
I suggest everyone to open a case with Outlook Support to receive more traction and visibility.
My problem was solved with 12.1 and switched on in Microsoft Outlook to the new layout.
I have the same issue. Using Outlook v 16.55 from Apple Store on both Exchange and 365 account. Search stopped working after upgrade to macOS 12.1. All was great in 12.0.1.
I have been in contact with microsoft support and these are their instructions moments ago. I'm currently doing the re-indexing
Thanks for letting us know. We'll need to re-install Outlook so that the Outlook search configurations for Spotlight search can be re-created.
Can you please download the Office 365 installer using the following link:
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=525133
Then delete your "Microsoft Outlook" app from the /Applications folder. Your mailbox data files are stored at another location and will remain intact.
Make sure to empty your trash folder so that the "Microsoft Outlook" app is fully uninstalled.
Run the Office 365 installer that you downloaded.
Then please follow the steps below to re-index your Outlook Profile:
Choose Apple menu -) System Preferences, then click Spotlight.
Click the Privacy tab.
In Finder:
a. On the Go menu click Go to Folder...
b. Copy and paste the following location into the "Go to the folder:" dialog box and click Go:
~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/
See the following article from Apple to learn more: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716
A few hours should be about enough for a re-index and then try searching again.
Tried that yesterday , with no luck at all.
I'm having the same issue on my new MBP 14" using Monterey 12.1 and Outlook 16.55 Very frustrating, I've now spent days trying different things to fix this without any luck. This needs to be a HIGH priority for Apple and Microsoft to sort out quickly. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
How will Apple know this needs to be fixed?
