Outlook for Mac 2019 - Search not working :-(
I have the same issue after using Time Machine. I got a new Macbook Pro 2019, used Time Machine and on the new Macbook the search doesn't work anymore. Both OS are Mojave .. also tried the OfficeSearchRepair.app but no results so far. This is frustrating ...
I also deleted the whole email account and added it again but nothing ...
Yep - exactly the same happened to me. Bought a new Mac, migrated using TimeMachine, and now Search in Outlook 365 has stopped working. I've tried everything on this page

Nothing works.
This is very frustrating. If you find out how to fix it I'd be most grateful. Everything still working on my MacMini no problem.
- I have the same problem after buying a new Mac and migrating everything across using TimeMachine. Can't search either Contacts or Emails. No help from Microsoft.
This is exactly what led me here. I had outlook 16 on my previous Mac for the past 2-3 years and never had an issue with indexing. new Mac this week and no matter what I do, it wont utilize Spotlight's indexing.
I rebuilt the database in case it was corrupted in the migration, that didn't work. Finally had enough and totally deleted the O365 suite and all the supporting folders/files and reinstalled from scratch- same issue. If you were able to resolve it I would love to hear how. Outlook without search I've learned is very close to useless.
