How to Rebuild the Search index in Microsoft Outlook
If Outlook is not searching all of your email correctly, you can rebuild the Outlook search index to fix this:
- Click on File then Options
- Select Search on the left then click Indexing Options
Click Advanced
Click the Rebuild button
This will cause Outlook to rebuild its entire search index. This can take a long time to complete. Some people can use outlook while performing this task, but we recommend to do this at the end of the day.
