Outlook 2007 search on Windows 11 fails by returning no results
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 am also having this same issue as i am using outlook 365 and when i upgraded to windows 11, i am not able to search. Thus, i tried going to:
Control Panel->Indexing Options->Modify->Unchecked "Microsoft Office Outlook" , but unfortunately after following the above steps when i click in to search tab, all search options are greyed out and i am not able to search by any option. Moreover, when i write something in a search box, it says "something went wrong, and your search couldn't be completed.
If possible, kindly help me on this issue as it has completely spoiled my work after upgrading to windows 11 !
Thanks & kind regards,

- Can anyone help me with this, if possible?
Thanks,I gave up, beside the Outlook search not working, I found more issues with Win 11. Now I see that you can not Drag and Drop to Task Bar. Its beginning to look like MS upgrade actually means downgrade / loosing options. I am returning this PC to see if I can still find a PC with Win 10. Or maybe I move to MAC
- Google Explorer Patcher.
Download and install that, and you can get most of what you could do with Win10.
I have always had my taskbar at the top and that got me that back. i have just dragged a shortcut to the taskbar and that stayed there.
