Microsoft is investigating an issue causing Outlook search not to display recent emails in desktop apps running on Windows 11 systems.
"When searching in Outlook Desktop on Windows 11 you might not see the most recent emails in the search results," Microsoft explains.
Microsoft advises Windows 11 users to mitigate the Outlook search bug by disabling Windows Desktop Search and switching to Outlook's built-in search engine as a workaround.
This is the second time Microsoft warned Outlook users of email search issues on systems running Windows 11.
As BleepingComputer reported in December, Outlook users also reported experiencing search issues last year in Outlook for Microsoft 365, Outlook 2019, and Outlook 2016 after upgrading to Windows 11.
As mitigation, Microsoft also recommended users at the time to switch to Outlook's built-in search engine, which would remove the cause of the issue: Windows Desktop Search being broken after the search index got deleted during Windows 11 upgrades.
