Search For Outlook On How To Use Outlook

For a time the OutlookSearchRepair was helping, but since that is no longer working I dont find the proposed solutions to work.

I see that my question has been put on hold as it does not have enough detail, and I appreciate the brevity, but there really is little else to say.

Search For Outlook On How To Use Outlook

There is no apparent pattern to which emails are not found, and I certainly know how to use Outlook.

Mail from the pervious week, people that know how to search and have been using outlook for decades.

The new design has some instability or were just getting more crap attachments.

We are still chasing this down, but its been a thing in our organization and clearly Microsoft made a tool to help people reset their indexes.

Thats like calling a tow truck, at some point you get tired of being rescued from the ditch and want a car that doesnt drive there so often.

With previous version I had success with the Repair tool that you mention.

With Mojave Outlook 2019, however, I had to try many other methods.

This website seems to have the most comprehensive guides for troubleshooting this.

Click Repair. Outlook is now forced to restore its database and rebuild the index, etc.

In my case this took about 23 hours on a speedy MacBook Pro.

I didnt do a thorough check on Friday and cant testify to the short term benefits.

But now when I search for things in the Outlook - it only displays results after the date of moving to the new laptop.

The link provided by OP has apparently been updated and now suggests to reset the Spotlight index for the Outlook folder.

This is a much less intrusive solution, takes about 20 minutes of rebuild time, and often works.

Therefore, I would recommend to everybody to first try this method.

Again this is a rather drastic measure and may take a few hours to rebuild.

If you cant find it on Micsosofts servers - then the mailbox content itself has issues.

If this is the case, you should be able to find other things like file name search that are broken or Disk Utility telling you that the disk needs repair erase reinstallation.

Outlook uses spotlight and modifies spotlight with its custom plug in to handle the data format for Outlook data when its stored on the local disk.

It appears that Microsoft, whilst acknowledging this, for some years already, appear to be doing nothing to fix this, as it has been under the status of investigating since the article was created.

I had this problem on and off for at least 2 years now and couldnt find the solutions to work.
