This issue will affect all Outlook versions because they all use Windows Desktop Search. However, if your email is hosted in the M365 cloud it will not be as big of an issue. Outlook M365 uses Service Search for most searches for Exchange Online hosted mailboxes. Search for POP/IMAP and Exchange offline all use WDS so those are all affected.
I don't have confirmation yet but I do think this issue affects Windows 11 starting with update https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/december-14-2021-kb5008215-os-build-22000-376-868d2c2f-a201-456e-be42-d95c794bebf0. I have seen reports with it but Windows has not confirmed that too me yet.
The Windows Team is actively working on this issue. As soon as we know when a fix is available, I'll post back with that info.
