In Terminal there is only one outlook entry
So any thoughts as to why indexing works in the new version of Outlook but not the legacy?
Many thanks
Hi Jono15 ,
It is really difficult to pinpoint the cause. In Outlook, even on Windows and especially on Mac, searching was always a very tricky issue. Recently, users reported some problems with the search function, and Microsoft responded with a fix. But even with the fix, I see people struggle to make it work. That is probably why Microsoft is switching to new interface. Here is the link:
Search in Outlook for Mac returns no results after installing macOS Monterey 12.1 (microsoft.com)
The legacy problem may be solved by simply removing Outlook and reinstalling it.
What I can tell you is that you should stick with the new interface for the time being, unless you are missing some features. In my opinion, I like it better than the old interface.
Good luck!
