  • Hello, daweagle 

    Please Review Rebuild Search Index. 
    If search issues persist, consider rebuilding the search index for the affected mailbox database

    Step By Step

    1. Stop the 'Microsoft Exchange Search' and 'Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller' services.

    2. Navigate to the following directory.
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\Search\Ceres\HostController\Data\Nodes\Fsis"

    [CAUTION] Delete all files and subfolders within that folder, but do not delete the "Fsis" folder itself.

    3.Open Exchange PowerShell
    cd 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\Search\Ceres\Installer'
    .\installconfig.ps1 -action i -datafolder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\Search\Ceres\HostController\Data"

    4. Start the 'Microsoft Exchange Search' and 'Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller' services.
