Outlook Constantly Searching Mac A Panel

When we added his profile to Outlook it successfully sync all folders.

If he tries to search for specific email he gets a No Results message.

My helpdesk person couldnt figure it out even after reloading my massive email account.

Anyway - when you start to search in Outlook for Mac a panel of search options pops up.

I enter the search terms in the upper right hand corner on this version, which is via a 365 subscription.

In the case that you migrate a system or some other sort of anomaly causes an issue with Outlook to where it shows no search results this is how you fix it.

If you have multiple Exchange Accounts you cant search them all at once.

This problem has happened since I got a new MacBook Air and used the Time Machine backup from my old MacBook Pro.

I do not know what is causing it but I do have a solution that has worked 100 of the time when it does happen.

The following commands do fix it, as posted by someone else in another thread.

I believe the key line may be the neverindexmetadata line.

What I did was move all messages to another temporary folder within Outlook and then back to their respective folders one folder at a time or to whatever messages you want indexed again.

It somehow forces Outlook to index them again and search now finds them again Give it a shot.

Hope it helps you.

It helped me and only took a few minutes since I have one large Archived folder.
