MicrosoftHi all,
The Windows Team asked us to help test upcoming updates that fix the Windows 10 and Windows 11 search issues. The steps to install these updates will require working with support. If you have Office Subscription and Office Insider or are M365 Tenant Admin then you should have Outlook Contact Support (Help, Contact Support). If you want to help test the updates, please open an In App ticket (Help, Contact Support). When you open the In App ticket, please share this forum thread and what windows platform you can test.

Although Windows 10 should be mitigated since the Feb 8 Windows Updates, the original changes that caused the issue will be added back in the updates coming March 15.

- YES - this is really not solved. Unbelievable. I can testify - this is NOT fixed. WIndows 11 & O365 IMAP. It's now March 2022 - three months after Microsoft CAUSED this problem with their December "Patch".
- Gabe_BrattonHi all,
An Office Insider opened a ticket on Windows 11 and validated the update fixes the issues for that platform.
We still need help validating Windows 10. Windows 10 should not currently have the problem after Feb 8 updates, but we would still like to test the upcoming update and make sure it has not regressed. If anyone on Windows 10 can help test, please open an In App ticket (Help, Contact Support) from Outlook. Office Insiders and Tenant Admins have the Contact Support option. - I received an update (KB5011493) fingers crossed it is all still searching properly will keep you updated
Windows 11
office 365 - Is this really not yet solved???????????????
I'm confused by the last paragraph. Does this mean windows will be reintroducing the issue in the Windows 10 March 15 update? Why would they do that? What about Windows 11?
