Outlook for Mac 2019 - Search not working :-(
Akshay_Mane How do you know when the mac has finished indexing?
After uninstall, reinstall, removing accounts, adding and the removing main profile from spotlight search i still did not have a solution. I then noticed new emails were showing up in search, just not emails that were prior to the OS upgrade and restore.
I opened terminal.
CD to folder containing "main profile" i.e.
/Users/<your user name>/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/Main Profile.
I then used touch to update the access date on old mail. on the CLI I used:
find . -type f -exec touch {} +After this finished all my old mail began to appear in searches.
Hope this works for others.
schneik8080- Hi there.
I have the opposite problem - I get no response from an email search through items since the upgrade to Big Sure. That is, when I do a search I get results pre 11 November (I think it was the 11th) but nothing since that date.
Will your solution also resolve that please?
Cheers

I dont have a file in my library called "Group Containers".
Need help please
What is touch?
EdieEtouch is a command line tool to modify a file or folders access time. it makes the filesystem thing the file was modified, without actually changing it.
