If you access the indexing options from within Outlook, Outlook does show up as an option, but the emails are not indexed either.
Specifically, Outlook just doesn’t show up when you look for the indexing options in Control Panel, and the items are not indexed by Windows Search. I’m running Windows 7, but I read of people complaining with Windows 8/8.1 and 10. I tried all the solutions I was able to find on the Internet (rebuilding the index, repairing the pst, among others), but none worked, and all I found was lots of people with the same problem. I tried Office 2016 for a couple of days, but unfortunately I had to revert to 2013 because the search in Outlook simply wouldn’t work. Note: This works with modern versions of Outlook that are part of the Microsoft 365 (formerly O365) suite of Office apps. Go back in and do some searches and see what kind of improved speed and functionality you get. Once the rebuilding is complete, you are finished. If you have other apps running in the background, then you’ll see “ Indexing speed is reduced due to user activity.” You can see the status of the process updating at the top of the Indexing Options window. The amount of time it takes to complete varies depending on the number of emails, file size, and processing power. Next, on the default Index Settings tab, click the Rebuild button.ĭo note that while the index is being rebuilt, searches probably won’t work, so wait until the process completes. Note that this step may require administrator privileges. Indexing Options will open up click the Advanced button. Go to File > Options and select Search in the left pane.
If you are running Outlook 2013, be sure to check out our article for that version here. In this article, we will show you how to do that.
