Question asked on Aug 29, 2013
I have a user with Outlook 2011 (14.3.6) connected to exchange 2010.  The search feature is totally broken.  Sometimes it returns no results and sometimes it returns some results.  For instance if I search for a sender's name some results will show up, but I can easily find more in the inbox that should show up.

I've put the Microsoft User Data folder into the privacy field in spotlight preferences and then removed it, which caused spotlight to re-index that folder and then search seems to work fine for a day or two and then the problem re-occurs.  Does anyone know what causes this or have any suggestions on how to fix it?
