Outlook Search not showing Recent Emails (December-2021)
Hi everyone!
I had the same problem as all of you and have been struggling a lot at work due to the high level of emails...the search bar makes it much easier to reply.
Anyway, I end up not doing any of the recommendations above, purely because today, while I was almost uninstalling the update that caused all of this (KB5008212), I noticed there was a new update (21H1) in line. So I deciced to update first before doing anything else, as this update could bring the fix I need it....and guess what? All problems solved!!! My outlook search bar is perfectly working now. Already restarted my laptopp and so far, no more issues!
Hope this solves your problems too!
fabio_faria I just checked for updates and 21H1 didn't even appear. I had just uninstalled 8212 before seeing your post, and that didn't fix things for me. I haven't tried re-indexing yet
- didn't fix mine and i re-indexed
Yes, same problem but for Windows 11, Outlook 2019, removing security update KB5008215 got outlook search working again (for now) ....was hoping an update would fix this
- Uninstalling 8212 fixed the problem without re-indexing (it just took a little while for it actually happen). I don't see the 21H1 update when I check for updates, but I'm wondering if I will get notified of it without 8212 installed.
