Outlook search not works in Monterey

I tried everything mentioned above, not working! During the the reindex, it somehow works but after reindex completed, it quits again.

YES - while spotlight is actually indexing it actually works. If you touch all files in the Profiles directory and below that also forces a reindex and during that time you get results but these when disappear when the touch finishes. #find . -type f -exec touch {} ;

Microsoft support (on my O365 subscription) have no frigging clue that they even supported M1 native LOL

We are screwed until they decide to fix it.

BTW I have 12.1

I have 12.0.1 and the search feature still isn't working even after following the reindexing instructions.

I also have 12.0.1 on a MacBook Pro 14 and Outlook search is not working. I deleted the Outlook Main Profile, added all my email accounts again, and left it overnight to download all the emails. With that completed, still no search function. Followed the "Remove Outlook Profile from Spotlight privacy tab per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/troubleshoot/outlook-for-mac/useful-tools" procedure per pepperwhite above. Hoping that eventually Spotlight will index all my mail as those instructions from Microsoft seem to promise, although Activity Monitor doesn't show much activity other than mds_stores (supposedly using around 160 % CPU). Am I on the right track?

Yep, this is my incredibly poor solution.

I am solving it with them 3 days and we still have no result. We tried the standard procedures, but nothing worked. We'll probably have to wait for an update of MacOS.

I am working with MS to solve the problem for the last 2 days. Not working. I confirm that it's is only a problem with Outlook spotlight and that the general spotlight features does find the elements, contact, events and mails. It is a temporary fastidious solution. I am thinking of downgrading from Monterey 12.2.1 to Monterey 12.0 or Big Sur. I do not know if the problem comes form MS or Apple. I assume it's up to to MS to build the necessary updates and patches. 4 months to do that, and not done.

I have OS Monterey 12.1 but seems like this problem is not going away with the Beta updates. On one hand, you could say that it is a Microsoft issue because they need to make their products compatible but on the other, you could argue that it only happened with the new update some 4-5 weeks ago. I haven't gone through this whole thread, just commenting on your reply.

I'm struggling with this major issue for a month after migrating to my new MacBook Pro M1 and even started communicating and raising ticket to Microsoft contact support but unfortunately there is no resolution yet. It's really hard to work with Outlook without search option. please help if you find out any temporary/permanent solution.
