Outlook for Mac 2011 version: 14.2.3 (120616)
Mac OS Version: 10.6.8
Email Service: Microsoft Exchange Online (O365)

Like many others I am having an issues with search within Outlook.

When I use Spotlight to search for a name or something similar it lists Outlook items and I can find them that way.  However, the search feature within Outlook does not work.

I have tried re-indexing, both in command line and by dragging the folders/drives to the 'do not search' folder in system preferences.

Neither of which seems to have resolved the problem.

I have also tried to rebuild the identity and even created a new identity.

What else should I try?

thanks!
