Outlook Microsoft 365 Tasks To-Do Search Bug

Copper Contributor

It seems when you flag an email for the first time eventually the task will show under Tasks > To-Do List. When you flag the second email, it will show almost immediately under Tasks. However, in both cases if you navigate to Tasks and perform a search by any word to identify the recent added task it won't show results. And will not give results until you have Outlook restarted. 

 

Conflict:

If the user has many tasks and tries to flag an email to create a new task, it will show under Tasks. However, you cannot perform a search to find it. The new task will not always show on top due custom order/filtering and from our perspective it seems the new task is indexed on the search engine when Outlook is restarted, not immediately.
