ISSUE
For some users after updating to 16.0.9001.2171 and later versions Outlook search returns no search results for POP and IMAP accounts.
STATUS: WORKAROUND
Until a fix or resolution is determined you can work around the issue by disabling Windows Desktop Search which will cause Outlook to use it's built in search. The built-in search will display the message below to indicate it is not using the Windows Search service.
