Outlook Search not showing Recent Emails (December-2021)

Hi,
Does your search still working?
Last week before christmas I uninstaled update KB5008212 to. After computer restart, all recent emails were indexed and search worked as it should until I made shutdown for pc. The next day when I turned back on PC I found that all new emails were not indexed. Outlook showed 0 items remain to be indexeg but these last emails clearly were not indexed. Then I did restart and run Outlook again, and in search options I saw a number of emails where indexed. As I understand indexing works untill you make a shutdown for your PC, after it indexing stops working. So uninstaling update KB5008212 did not solved the problem. Microsoft, please give some feedback. In my company there are around 160 users with this problem after update KB5008212.
Rebuild the Indexing, it should work fine.
- Open office
- Click on "file" (top left corner)
- "Options" (second from bottom left corner
- Outlook Options should now be open select "search" (sixth selection on your left)
-Under "Sources" on the left select "Index options"
-Select advanced at the bottom of the new window
-Now select rebuild
NOTE this takes several hours mine took 2 days to complete and it does not solve you problem the issue with searching will persist after day 3 or so after you rebuild your index
- only for a short while
