Outlook search is now totally useless
There is certainly nothing i can suggest. I suppose you can try the new app but its fairly hopeless too.
Outlook is just a shocking hopeless platform and should be killed off.
My problems.include:
- totally useless search function which just doesn't work
- useless filters which don't work and no way of changing/adjusting them.
- doesnt sort properly or give any options for sorting
- continually fails to connect when when you know you have internet working
- generally unfriendly application
I think the only option is to find a different email app.

So I did the indexing suggestion and for now that seems to have fixed things. My search is almost instantaneous. It does warn the indexing could take a day or so. Mine took about an hour and I let it run in the background. Andrew_B_56

What exactly is the "indexing suggestion"?
