Yes, I wrote about this earlier, that must be installed min. two account. But I don't want to install some unreal account. I use only one account many years and many years worked search function well. Stoped to work - I don't know when. I try to use other free e-mail client. Seems works well, so I plan to switch. This function is necessary, I don't want to solve it for years. MS ignore it. So I switch.

Thanks so much Paultheportoscom: I added a second email account to Outlook for Android. Then I saw the Home icon after tapping the Search icon. And selecting ‘all accounts’ makes the Search function work -at last!

It hasn't worked for me either. I have 5 accounts, of which 2 are IMAP & the search just doesn't work for the IMAP accounts.
I have the house icon, which does indeed claim to search in all accounts. There are lots of results, but searching for something specific which I know exists, but only in an IMAP account, gives "no results".
Searching in IMAP seems just fundamentally broken in Outlook for Android.

Hey guys,
Searching all mailboxes work, but gives only old results, threads from 5 years ago. Microsoft should improve the search functionality as for desktop version.
