Outlook 2007 search on Windows 11 fails by returning no results
- Sep 25, 2021
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.
I've got the exact same problem, and for me its a deal breaker for using windows 11. I've tried every fix I can find on the net, and nothing works. I'm off back to Windows 10 beker

bekerHello there,
I unchecked OUTLOOK 2007 search in Advanced Indexing Options, but it reappears as checked when I close and reopen Advanced Indexing Options. Then it occurred to me that I can uncheck the .PST fines included in OUTLOOK, and that worked!!! Thank you for your advice.

Thank you so much. That worked for me also.- WelshGasmanJun 14, 2024Copper Contributor
Strangely enough, on my laptop with outlook 2007 and WIn 11, the indexing is fine???
