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
I use IMAP beside office365, icloud, ..... You can not converter it automatically. but you can re-add the IMAP account after you switched to the new outlook .
Same Problem here... iMac 2017, Mac Mini M1... Reinstalled multiple times, tried different accounts... Wiped clean the system and only installed outlook... after 2 successes it stopped searching...
We need an answer ASAP....
This issue its ruining my business, we depend on Outlooks pop folders and searches. How it this posible, with all the beta programs, that Apple could not avoid this kind of errors. You guys are ruining the one of the most used apps for business.
Please we really need to solve this. Microsoft claim that this error will have to be solve by Apple.
Out of desperation I've resorted to this: I use the Outlook app on my iPhone to do the search. It will return a list of search results that includes the message date and Outlook folder where the message is stored. Not great, but at least I can get to the neighborhood of the message I'm looking for.
Monterey 12.1 - In addition to outlook search broken, Filter in outlook is also broken. Any filter returns blank.
I experience the same, and I think it's the MacOS and not Outlook causing the problem, because it stopped responding to my searches the same day I installed Monterey, October 25th 2021. I have tried "everything", including reinstalling Monterey (12.1) without a positive result. I have to use Mail in parallel to search in my 37.000 mails in one of several inboxes and 2.500 contact records. I hope Mac developers take this seriously now!!
MS and Apple still on Christmas holidays... No chance in switching to new outlook version, it supports "only" Microsoft 365 Exchange Online, Outlook.com, Google, iCloud, Yahoo, POP or IMAP account. Useless if you have your Exchange on prem. Getting really angry with this situation, after 10 days still in the clue...
Just switch to "New Outlook" and your search will be back to normal.
I had the same issue on my macBook Pro 14" M1 (12.1 update). Reindexing (add/remove profile to spotlight privacy) resolved issue "no results" in outlook search.
I have Version 12.1. Monterey and a Macbook Pro 13-inch, M1, 2020. Spotlight_index is not working at all. Especially search in Microsoft Outlook (Version: 16.56.21121100) is not working. it tried to reset the spotlight index. Nothing helped. Can anyone help?
Search stopped working on my Outlook 365 client on my M1 Mini when I upgraded to Monterey. I followed the procedure here, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/troubleshoot/outlook-for-mac/useful-tools, using the procedure for Catalina and deleted all of my Outlook profiles and built a new one. That solved the problem.
It hasn't worked for me since macOS Monterey update - I am running Monterey 12.1 with latest updates for Outlook for Mac - search not working at all VERY frustrating
Is there a way to escalate it in MS or Apple? this is impacting business.
I'm also experiencing this issue! I have OS Monterey 12.1 and Outlook 365 (version 16.55). It's adding hours of work to my life. Please provide a solution! Thank you!
I have the same issue but let me go in a bit more detail. I have a few MacBook Pros. All are running Monterey 12.0.1 or 12.1. Two are on Intel and one is on M1. Outlook version is 16.56 on all machines. Lets call the Intel Macs Intel1 and Intel2.
Like many of you here, I do not want to use the 'New Outlook' because it wipes out any mail folders listed as 'On My Computer'. IMO, Microsoft is trying (probably for corporate mail policy reasons) to stop users from archiving their own work mails on their machines.
I have tried re-indexing spotlight multiple times on the M1 MPB (the machine that is meant to Intel 2 and has files migrated from there)
As stated, the indexing starts ok (if you type in a search before starting the Spotlight re-indexing, the search will display a growing number of items. After awhile, other messages appear in results but the search term remains highlighted in the relevant mails. When mdsworker (the spotlight process) completes, the search function fails. This was true of Intel 2 and M1 MBP.
The odd thing is that on Intel 1, search works fine. How can this be?
My suspicion is that sometime in Nov/Dec 2021, a flag was inserted in the Outlook database to block search results from appearing.
Microsoft and Apple have wasted our time and we should hear from them.
