    Yes, I came across that article. My understanding is Windows 10 multisession already has Multi-user search enabled so no changes are required in FSLogix GPO settings.

      Hi all,

       

      Microsoft has to confirmed to us that the multi-user search indexing currently has a bug / is a known issue. ETA on a fix is not yet given by MS.

       

      However, we received a private fix from them which fixes the problem for testing purposes. In the meantime, we are using this workaround:

      - Disable Windows 2019/10 user-based search indexing (HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search "EnablePerUserCatalog" DWORD 0.

      - Enable FSlogix search indexing (searchroam = 2 = multi-user search enabled).

       

      Although FSlogix search roaming is not supported for Windows 10 / 2019, it works like a charm and fixes Outlook search indexing issues.

       

      When MS release a public fix for the bug, we can revert back to the Windows feature. Only inconvenience will be that every user will need to rebuild his search index, but I don't really care.
