Outlook Search not showing Recent Emails (December-2021)

[VineeshKV88]

Hi All,

The outlook search option stopped working properly after WIndows10 update.

The issue has happened after installing a security update from Windows (December 14, 2021—KB5008212).

I had tried re-building the Indexing but it was same. Once the issue started I had searched for the solutions and finally found that recent Windows update has created the issue. I had uninstalled that particular update and the search issue was fixed.

So let us know when the fix will be available for this bug?

Thanks for helping! Search is working again. @Lado_D

Hello All

Its been almost 3 weeks now and all search is working just fine seems like Microsoft managed to fix the issue permanently

hi@JohanCo 

It worked well for me until this morning. It wasn't indexing newest emails once again. I had to go to services, stop and restart the Search Service.

It might be a temporary error, I will keep you posted.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Thank you, you made a great contribution over the last 6 months - did it take Microsoft that long to clean uop their own mess?
Perhaps ypou could go onto the Ebay boards and sort them out, these lasrge organisations are like oil tankers, only worse.

Cheers

I found the most bizarre workaround

That has worked on multiple PCs!

(that spontaneously started having this issue both office 2016 & 2019)

Go into the indexing options and select modify and then UNCHECK the OUTLOOK option

Close Outlook

Open Outlook

Do a search

You will immediately get the error that:              ...the search could not be completed...

And then the search will proceed to complete fully and correctly

This included a just sent email - so the index seems to update as well

after reboot indexing starting from 0 again, microsoft didnt fix it from december

Hello @Marcin_Czernik 

The indexing newest email has been solved for us, sorry to hear you still have issues with it.

Hello Guys

Last update resolved my issues like a month ago

[#15]

Thank you, stopping and starting search services brought back my missing search results in seconds. Much easier than previous process of running PST repair tool and reindexing. Wish MS would fix this. I am on W11outlook 2019 ver 2204

[#16]

Thank you so much for this trick, wow really good.. Keep click the rebuild button and found not userful, bit uncheck outlook, i manage to get my search back.
