Search in Outlook 16.8 does not work on Mac Book Air Ventura 13.2.1

Hi there,

bought the a new mac and the search in Outlook does not work, is not existing. I work in Outlook 16.86 on Mac Book Air Ventura 13.2.1

I de-installed MS and re-installed = followed all steps from MS. Emptied the trash and shut my mac. Re- started it and started again with re-installing. I bought the MS package and thought, I am good. But I am not.

On my old Mac 15.8, all is working in Outlook.

Can you pls advise.... I tried to download the older version of Outlook, but failed here, too.

Thanks, Sabine
