Akshay_Mane I am having same issue on a MAC OS High Sierra (10.13.6) running Outlook for MAC (16.38). I have tried all above fixes and still no outcome. All search and filtering functions in Outlook fail 100% in multiple MAC profiles.

Search works from within spotlight and terminal. There seems to be a communication mismatch between Outlook and the Spotlight function.

This is a restored build from Time machine after an HD failure.

Any suggestions would be grateful!!

Thanks, CAMGILLY
