Windows 10: Has the search online function been removed from Windows 10 Mail?

I used to be able to scroll down to the bottom of a mail box and click 'search online' - this no longer appears. The only thing that appears is "Don't see what you're looking for? Try using different keywords"

:)

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

 

WIndows 10 Mail app search function not finding content of emails

That's correct, we suggest that you
delete your account from the Mail application in order to re-sync the mail servers by signing in. After the account has been removed, re-login by following the steps on the link provided on the previous post. Once you're done, test the search function
and see if the issue persists.

Let us know if you encounter any challenges along the process.

 

Crucial: Whats wrong with Mail App Search Function

thanks for your suggestion, and no, the windows search index was not the problem. it's the mail app that does not work as expected:

expected behavior:

1. type a keyword
2. return search results containing that keyword

observed behavior:

1. type a keyword
2. no results
3. search online
4. still no results and no error msg
