I have the same issue. I tried all resolutions I could find including reinstalling the software and reindexing

    I used Time Machine to migrate my data to a new macbook pro and I can not search in Outlook.

     

    I've gone through numerous steps to solve the issue but it remains unresolved.

     

    I can't work without this search tool.  Microsoft please assist with providing a solution.

      I have since found this solution to this problem.

       

      Outlook not indexing/searching

       

      sudo mdutil -a -i off

      sudo mdutil -a -i on

       

       

      Will solve your problem,

      sincerely,

        This did work for me. Thank you orefalo .

        I went to Applications/ Utilities/ Terminal then put in the commands.
