Outlook Search not showing results on MAC M1 Pro
Hello, I upgrade to a MAC M1 Pro and the search feature does not return any results. I followed the directions for re indexing and no luck. The MAC OS is: Monterey 12.1 (21C52) & the Outlook for Mac ...
Thank you, I checked last night after the update and the search is now working again!
I am on 12.1 with the 16.57 update installed and search is still not working.
I should add that I have tried every step that every blog recommends when you google the problem.
- Can you double check that the 16.57 is 22011101? There may be more than one build of 16.57.
If you are on 22011101 I would give another go of adding "Macintosh HD" to the Privacy exclusions in Spotlight and then remove it. That will rebuild the index.
I hope that fixes it. I just know a lot of people like me have seen 22011101.- After so many weeks of trying to address this, I am thankful to have seen your response. All other blog posts, etc spoke of adding and deleting the Outlook Main Profile folder to the Spotlight Privacy exclusions, but this was the first I've ever seen the suggestion to add and remove the HD. It worked immediately. Thank you!
Yep, just verified I'm on 16.57 (22011101) and search will not work.
Also, did the Spotlight trick you mentioned. No luck yet but I'll give it a few...
- If putting Mac HD into Privacy exclusions in Spotlight and taking it out again doesn't fix it, consider forcing Outlook to rebuild the Outlook database. I deleted all of the sql lite files in ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/Main Profile/Data which didn't work until the new update of Outlook. (That step had fixed a search failure on a 2017 MacBook Pro.)
