Outlook 2007 search on Windows 11 fails by returning no results
Since I upgraded to windows 11, Outlook no longer can search for text in messages.
This was working on Windows 10 and Windows 8/7.
This issue is causing me a headache, I had this issue when upgraded to Windows 10 but was able to fix it searching on the net.
I have tried everything Microsoft support pages suggested, and many others, but with no resolution.
Thank you for any help to resolve the problem.
Hi, I finally fixed the problem on Windows 11 by simply going to:
Control Panel->Indexing Options->Modify->Unchecked "Microsoft Office Outlook"
Save everything and restart the Outlook.
Now I can search my mail box.
I thought keeping outlook checked is the right thing to do.
But Microsoft interface and docs, sometimes are not intuitive.
Hope this helps.
