Till Microsoft Fix this issue the below can be work-around for this issue, I have tested this on almost 10 Systems and that's working for me. The issue was the recently received emails are not getting indexed and thats why we are unable to get recent result in search return.
Work around is as follows.
1) Close the Outlook
2) Restart the Windows Search service under services.
3) Open “Indexing Option” you can search In windows for Indexing Option or you can find it under control panel
4) Click on Modify and show all location
5) Under advance Tab click on “troubleshoot and indexing”link that will repair the indexing issue on next screen Select “outlook search doesn’t return the result”.
6)And then Restart the system and check your call recent mails will start getting indexed and you will be able to search the emails.

- Do you do this after each reboot?
- thank you, this worked twice for me already........apparently after every window update (twice now since Dec 2021), i meet with the same problem - unable to search for recent emails in Outlook.
- This is a "classic" workaround.....
You have try to reboot the computer or wait one or two days ? I think the problem persist....
