Windows 10: add search to folder in outlook

After windows 10 update search in outlook 2013 never completes


I've run into what I think is this same issue, although I'm not completely certain that it coincides with a Windows 10 update. I set up a user on a new Windows 10 Pro box, with Outlook 2013, and he found he was unable to search his PST files. We went through the whole standard list of troubleshooting search indexing options, including rebuilding the entire search index, without success. I also copied his PSTs to another system, and ran into the same issue, which eliminates disk errors, registry junk, and things unique to his machine. What finally worked for me were these steps:

1.In Outlook, go to Options -> Search -> indexing options -> Modify
2. Uncheck "outlook" and the folder under your user where your PST files are located
3. Close Outlook
4. Give it a few minutes for processes to exit
5. Restart Outlook
6. Go to Options -> Search -> indexing options -> Modify
7. Check the items you unchecked in step 2
8. Select something in your PST file and click search to bring up the search window
9. Select Advanced Find from the Search Tools pulldown
10. Perform your search.

After this I was able to search again using the quick search option at the top of the message list pane.

I suspect this toggled some internal switch in Outlook which the index rebuild didn't touch.

 

Cannot add contacts personal folders to address book in Outlook 2016


Many thanks for all your suggestions, HippsieGypsie, but nothing seems to be working. I cannot delete my folder so I have to keep trying to get it included in the list of available address books. My contacts are all in the Contacts - Personal Folders, but this list is not included amongst those offered by Outlook as a default address book.
