Outlook Search not showing Recent Emails (December-2021)
Hi All, The outlook search option stopped working properly after WIndows10 update. The issue has happened after installing a security update from Windows (December 14, 2021—KB5008212). I had...
I have also noticed this problem and I have not solved it by simply creating a new index and not even scanning each PST archive or importing the content to a new PST. All of this is not resolved even after updating Office before performing the operations. The problem recurs after a few days. I have handled dozens of reports from clients and colleagues. Hope for an update soon

MicrosoftThere is a new recent issue affecting Windows Desktop Search in Outlook. The issue is mostly seen after installing this Windows 10 update kb5008212 and possibly this Windows 11 update kb5008215.
The Outlook and Windows Teams are investigating the issue. We posted this Known Issue for awareness, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-search-not-showing-recent-emails-after-windows-update-kb5008212-cc5345cf-8007-403a-bb23-f3818653c2df.
A reboot and restart of Outlook might be a short-term mitigation. I have also seen users say that open Task Manager, Services, locate Windows Search, right click, Restart it. Then restart Outlook also mitigates for that session.
I'll post back when I know what the fix will be.
