Outlook for Mac 2019 - Search not working :-(
I have the same issue with Catalina. Outlook Search Repair doesn't support OS version. I tried to add/remove Outlook 15 Profiles from Spotlight Privacy, delete Outlook.sqllite to repair/rebuild index, it still doesn't work.
nvtanh according the steps, you shall add and remove for outlook to reindex. wonder why were to delete Outlook.sqllite?
after the reindex, Quit (right click and Quit) your outlook completely. and you probably gonna repeat this frequently as the new incoming emails might be facing the same issue again.

Dmtiry_Demidov personally i think is Outlook indexing issue. as i'm using both windows and macos platform. both platforms facing same issue of indexing. whereby if i'm using OWA, this isnt an issue at all. The available solutions on the website are works, just probably for a period of time or your existing emails. any new incoming emails shall be reindex again. means you're gonna reindex (repeating the steps) once you facing the issue again until it solves by Microsoft.
teexl thanks! How much time did indexation take and how much gigs of letter do you have?
nvtanh I just bought a new laptop. Previous the search under Mohave and Outlook 365 (16.35) was decent but had been spotty (suddenly it just worked). But now I get nothing. I've tried all that you have to no avail. Given that this is a microsoft product on a Mac platform, where do you think the problem lies - with outlook or Catalina?
