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 had the same issue after migrating to my new MBP M1 from a previous MBP core i9, both with macOS Monterey. I tried to reindex the Main Profile folder, it works during the indexation and nothing after. I tried to reindex the Macintosh HD disk with no more success. I moved to the new Outlook and it works fine, all my mails are correctly indexed.
Macbook pro 16" M1Max, updated to Outlook 16.58 with Monetery 12.0.1, Outlook search still outlook does not work. Any other recommendations?
GREAT ! it now works for me. Didn't work since I bought a Mac Pro 14" M1 / Monterey, updated to 12.1, and transfered my old data. Even with reindexing Spotlight... (Outlook was 16.56).
Works now with Outlook 16.57, coming from "Preview" Channel. So, the culprit was not Spotlight or Mac, but Outlook. No need to reboot. Just close/reopen Outlook, and the search bar works !
Thanks for all of you !
I have (/had) the same issue:
If I use the old interface in Outlook, no indexing past a certain date.
But using the "new Outlook" (interface) it seems to be searching all mails correclty and indexing as it should.
This seems to be a Microsoft problem. Now if only the new interface was as user friendly as the old...
"new Outlook" (interface) is definitely not a chance, since it is not supporting exchange server on prem.
I was having this problem for a long time. I installed the beta version today and the search is working. 16.58 (22010904) This version seems to be working for now. Check for updates for install and open beta channel from advanced...
Just got the M1 MB Air AND monterey 12.1 - cannot find anything - really annoying ! my dad has Big sur and that works fine ! so i guess it's apples problem.......
Please fix it fast, otherwise it's very difficult to work on the macbook..
PROBLEM SOLVED with the VERY LATEST Beta Channel version of Outlook 16.57 (V220.11101)
I just checked this worked
NB. I had to force a re-index of spotlight.
NB. This is the Classic NOT New Outlook
Are there really no options for fixing this yet? Search works in New Outlook, but New Outlook sucks. Hoping Microsoft/Apple start listening.
I Have the same issue (i'm using MBP M1 2020, with exchange account through MS outlook), first started from my outlook searchbox, it's really annoying and make my workflow disastrous, since i'm very relied in this particular feature. it happens once few years ago when i'm still in big sur. but the problem solved when i reindex with spotlight setting. But this time,, it happen again when i recently upgrade to Monterey 12.1 (Monterey 12.0.1 works fine with it).
I tried the same way with spotlight setting and it still showed no result. then i tried to fix through terminal with "sudo mdutil" command to reset the spotlight, and this is where it gets worst, now my spotlight can't search through my mac properly. My documents, apps, and photos still there, but the spotlight shows only things from the web, not in my mac.
This drives me crazy since i haven't find any fix on the web for this issue. Though i tried all the things i got from forums all over the web : spotlight reindex, using terminal, reinstall outlook, update to 16.57/ 16.58, i can't change to new outlook mode since i'm using exchange account.
Then i ran into conclusion that this is monterey's problem, not the outlook. since reindexing in the system itself got chaotic, not only in outlook. so i decided to downgrade my Mac to Big Sur. Backup my files with time machine, and then reinstall mac to Big Sur.
And IT FIXED! such a relief to got this function back again. if you have the same problem with me, just downgrade to Big Sur, and wait till this issue noticed by apple and hopefully they'll fixed it.
This is the following steps i do to downgrade safely to Big Sur :
hope this will help for you guys, until apple fixes this frustrating issue.
I posted a comment yesterday say the 16.58 worked but it was not classic UI. I guess it was during the reindex build up. After 15 hrs later, the old interface comes back! It works! Works!
Official channel Outlook update is available now. Refer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/search-in-outlook-for-mac-returns-no-results-after-installing-macos-monterey-12-1-075c5f09-35db-4205-aba3-eea2f168c71b
I too had the same problem with my MacBook Air, Checked with Microsoft in app support. They asked me to downgrade the macOS to Big Sur and I did it. Now its working good.
Downgrade to Big Sur, Then everything works fine. Pls don't forget to backup your data.
Outlook 16.57 has fixed issue for me. 16.56 had the issue.
