Outlook for Android search issue
I was looking for a solution to the search functionality not working on my Outlook for Android app, which led me to this discussion. I have just found the solution by chance.. Every time I used the search function it always showed 'no results'. If I click on the down arrow next to the search function, the search default was to my hotmail email (microsoft email), which I rarely use, but it wouldn't let me change to one of my other email accounts. A get around it to click on the house icon for 'all accounts', and the search function worked! I hope this works for everyone else.
Thank You! This was my exact issue. 2 emails and search was pointing tov he one I rarely use. I reinstalled Outlook many times as suggested by other posts and search would work for a while and then stop working. That search target drop down option is not something I noticed before until you pointed it out.
You would think it would default to searching all email accounts or they would make that option more noticeable.
Thanks so much Suzanne!
