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...
Installed yesterdays updates, KB5011493 and KB4023057 and the fault is still present. Windows 11, Microsoft 365.

Search problem has re-appeared today.
Windows 10/64 Pro version 21H2 - 19044.1586 using Outlook 2010Last updates: KB4023057, KB5011487
There were 2 Windows defender updates in the last 2 days!
The search in my outbox showed items correctly I believe until Monday 14th. The item sent today did not show, however it did appear in a split second before it disappeared.
I tried the workaround of stopping the windows search service (& Outlook), and restarting it, however it did not resolve the issue.
Microsoft this isn't fixed!
- Tried this again today (both before and after resetting the Windows Search service).
It appears that the search function is now showing every item, except for the current date (ie today), and then just the last item received, if more than one from the same entity. To clarify, if i have 100 emails today:
scenario 1= only one emial from client A, then search only shows items from client A on previous days;
scenario 2 = 2 or more emails from client B, fails to show latest, but earlier emails are listed.
Scenario 3 = no emails today from client C, then search works fine.
Hopefully this research helps microsoft to fix the issue properly?
- As of 3/14/2022, problem is absolutely still NOT fixed. Windows 11, Office 365 MSO. System search is indexing fewer than 2 objects per second (~26 per minute). Search within the Outlook app is nonexistent or horribly incomplete - cannot find anything recent, and many times can't find anything period. Have tried most workarounds (besides a complete OS rebuild - Microsoft would need to pay ME for that). NOTHING WORKS - now three months after the company introduced the problem with a "patch". This is hugely affecting our small business. Abjectly incompetent behavior on the part of MSFT - ostensibly a "Fortune 500 company". SMDH.
It's a pain but after each reboot I manually stop and restart the "windows search" service (make sure Outlook is closed) and it works for me.
At least it's indexing the newest emails as they arrive.
