Outlook Search not showing recent emails in Windows 11
Actually, it was fixed on March 15th as promised when they released KB5011563. However, this first went out to the Beta and Release Preview Channels.
This update is now available in the "regular" Release Channel for Windows 11 as well via Windows Update.
Many thanks Robert,
However the latest automatic update I have received from Microsoft was dated March 9, 2022 so I have not yet seen any signs of release KB5010563 of March 15, 2022. Can you please direct me to how I can perform an immediate update based on this release?
Thanks again

It looks to be still in a staged roll-out phase. If you want it now, switching your computer to the Release Preview Channel will make sure you get it now.
Start-> Settings-> Windows Update-> Windows Insider Program-> Choose your Insider settings-> Release Preview.

Robert, I'm wondering if you would be kind enough to assist further given that searching recent emails in Outlook still does not work, even af installing release KB5010563 as you and MS recommended. Thanks in advance.- mpsandme84Apr 06, 2022Copper Contributor
exactly the same, index is not rebuilding after applying the respective KBAs (workaround was never implemented)
- MikeB112Mar 28, 2022Copper ContributorThanks again. I successfully updated with release KB5011563. I switched off the "Outlook Temporary Workaround" and for good measure I started reindexing in Windows 11 on March 25, 2022. After more than 2 days the indexing seems to be going nowhere. The "items remaining to be indexed" in Outlook keeps going up and has now slowed down around 95,000 items. Windows 11 ("Searching Windows - indexing status") reports "Indexed": 21,000 (slowing down) and "Pending": 200,000 (increasing). So, after the PC has worked on re-indexing for more than 48 hours straight, Outlook still cannot perform searching within my IMAP account. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for advice to get my Outlook searching again, which is essential for me. - Mikael

MikeB112 I have the same experience just updated, disabled the workaround and rebuilt index but search is still not working.
