Make sure you are setting the regkey in the correct path. Once you create the regkey restart Outlook to pick up the change.
You will know its working when you see the policy notification right above the search results that says: "Search performance will be impacted because a group policy has turned off the Windows Search service."
Another option. Put this text below in Notepad and save as preventindexingoutlook.reg. Then double click on it and install the regkey.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]
"PreventIndexingOutlook"=dword:00000001
