Outlook Search Not Finding All Results Full Of Files
Outlook Search Not Finding All Results Upgrade To Outlook

When I returned Search function on Outlook shows No Results despite fact that there should be many.

I have checked that Microsoft User Data is in Documents folder.

Outlook Search Not Finding All Results Full Of Files

It is. I have followed advice from Macworld.com as follows: Go to DocumentsMicrosoft User DataOffice 2011 IdentitiesMain IdentityData RecordsMessages and then dig down through folders until you finally come to a folder full of files that end with the.olk14Message extension.

If something else appears here, click on the pop-up menu, choose Microsoft Outlook from the list that appears, and then click Change All.

Now, to the tried-and-true methods for fixing Spotlight indexing issues.

Launch System Preferences, choose Spotlight, and click on the Privacy tab.

Move to the Finder and locate your Microsoft User Data folder (which, as Ive mentioned, is usually found in your Documents folder).

Let it sit there for about 30 seconds and then select it and click on the minus ( ) button to remove the folder from the window.

This is the common technique for reindexing folders and volumes.

You either have Spotlight indexing turned off for the drive Outlook is on, or the Spotlight index is corrupt.

To fix the latter, open the System Preferences and click on Spotlight.

If your startup drive is not listed under the Privacy tab, drag and drop that drive icon from the desktop into that pane to add it.

Then highlight the drive you just added and click the minus button to remove it.

Give it 15 minutes or so and you should start seeing search returns in Outlook.

The fix is to upgrade to Outlook 2016 or use Apple Mail on the Mac.

Both worked for me but I choose to use Apple Mail on the Mac.
