Open the System Preference and click on the Spotlight icon, then the Privacy tab. Drag and drop your startup drive (where Office should also be located) from the desktop into the open window. Or add it using the plus button. Then highlight the drive and click the minus button. Quite simply, Office 2016 is Office on the Mac, as it should be, without compromising Office’s features or requiring Mac users to conform to a Windows way of working. In Outlook 2016 for Mac, users receive a message “No Results,” when they try to search specific mail message or task items are not displayed in Task folder. Moreover, when users search for mail items by utilizing Mac OS spotlight search, the search is not successful. OS X will reindex the drive. When it's done (and as it's working), search in Outlook should work. Hi Kurt, thank you for this! However, I am a bit slow - where do I find the startup drive? - or maybe the question should be Which Start Up Drive do I want??

Or actually two different ones? Thanks for the help! I tried manyt of the suggestions on the web to get Outlook's search function working; rebuilt my Outlook database and Main Identity several times, forced Spotlight to reindex my HD using Terminal etc, but couldn't get it working. Pamela for skype. Oddly, Spotlight and Apple Mail had no problems searching for emails, just Outlook that couldn't. It was this suggestion that finally cured it for me: After emptying my Inbox folder cache (right click on Inbox - Folder Permissions) it took a while to resynchronise with my Exchange server. However, the end result was Outlook's search function fully restored. None of the solutions that I have seen from Apple and Microsoft worked for me (including re-indexing Spotlight and uninstalling and reinstalling Office entirely).
