    Search in Outlook 2016 and 2019


    A long time searching in Outlook when connected to an Exchange server in cached mode has been an issue. Search result does not return all, if any results. We know about rebuilding search database, but the issue happens very frequently, so we have had to disable cached mode in Outlook. Disabling cached mode has the drawback of Outlook becoming very slow navigating between folders and shared mailboxes.

    The issue seems to have connection to Microsoft Search, we also noticed that when you search in the Start Menu there are also results issues could there be a connection here?

    Are there any plans on fixing this issue which has been going on for years?

    :)

    Adjusting font size in Outlook folder list (2016/2019)

    Hi folks
    Is there a way to get this screen in Outlook 2016/2019.

    Here in Outlook 2010 you can easily adjust the font size and type in the folder list (navigation pane) and other things which makes it much more readable on a large monitor - sometimes default fonts are too tiny - especially when viewed on large screens !!

    I can't seem to get to similar screens in Outlook 2016/2019.
    In Some places you can't set size either - you just get choice of small, large, larger !!!!!!! definitely a retrograde step IMO.

    Cheers

    Search in Outlook 2016 and 2019

    Windows 10/Outlook 2016 Search Index Broken

    I have a user who can no longer use the search function in outlook 2016. It doesn't give an error, it just wont return results.

    After extensive googling, I have found and tried the following solutions to no avail.

    1. Rebuild windows search index
    2. Delete windows.edb file and rebuild search index
    3. Remove outlook from the search index, reboot and add it again
    4. Full repair of outlook
    5. Scanpst to fix corrupted PST files (they weren't corrupted)

    I have loaded the PST files into my outlook and I can search them, and there is no issues with any other computers in the office, so it is computer specific and not related to the PST file.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions short of a full reinstall of windows? I am literally banging my head on the desk...

    UPDATE

    After more tinkering, I removed Outlook from the Search Index and tried searching for emails within outlook, and it worked... just really slowly. When I added Outlook back into the search index, it stopped working.

    Also, searching is working for local drives, just not Outlook
