Hi Since installing Office 2016 on my iMac the search function has stopped working. This is the outlook search box top right. Whatever i type in to search inbox, it just says no results.

If i search using spotlight, i see no emails. It is all of Outlook not just mail, as contacts are also not found if i search contact. But if i search using spotlight it finds contacts. But if i then select, it says no card. I have tried adding hd to spotlight privacy and removing again. But when i do a spotlight search it is constantly indexing. Sometimes it looks like it if finished, but then start again.

On the odd occasion it worked, then 10 minutes later the same search fails. I have also tried removing the.Spotlight-V100 folder. I have no funny character in profile, i have even tried setting up a new profile. I am tempted to factory reset my iMac, as i don't keep much actually on it. But that seems a bit drastic and the fault may come back. Thanks Terry.
