Last Updated 3 years ago
If this happens, rebuilding the outlook search database should fix it. Outlook performs it's searches using the Windows indexing service.
- Close outlook
- Go to indexing option and click "modify"
- Uncheck the csc://, and mapi:// entries if they are checked (you may only have one or the otherĀ - do not change any other entries. Then click "OK"
- Run the windows search troubleshooter
- Select that searches do not return results, and the troubleshooter will re-create the index.
- The next time you open Outlook, searches should work.
