- Question: Q: Outlook 2016 for Mac - search not working Just installed the new Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac. Outlook mail migrated nicely and everything seems to be there however, the search function isn't finding anything at all.
- That is probably the biggest strength of Office 2016. You can work with your Office 365 subscription on a number of devices. Windows 10 for sure, but Office 2016 also runs on Windows 7 and Windows.
- Question: Q: Outlook 2016 for Mac - search not working Just installed the new Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac. Outlook mail migrated nicely and everything seems to be there however, the search function isn't finding anything at all.
We have a brand new iMac with Office 365 subscription including Office 2016. On the mac are 2 user accounts so that they can share the desk in the office. The first configured user (A) has no issues with anything and everything seems to work fine including all search functionality. The secondary User (B) cannot use the mac search functionality in Outlook or Spotlight to search mail prior to the installation date. The mailboxes were in existence prior to the arrival of the mac and search correctly in the Office 365 web client. Is there anything I can change to allow User B to be able to use the search capability in Outlook 2016?
In addition to this, we have another mac (User C) using the same Office 2016 and 365 package and theirs also works perfectly.
The emails that are not found are seemingly at random. I see that my question has been put on hold as it does not have 'enough detail', and I appreciate the brevity, but there really is little else to say. There is no apparent pattern to which emails are not found, and I certainly know how to use Outlook. – CaptainProg Mar 20 '19 at 10:16.
I have looked online at various topics where issues are similar but it seems that having 2 user accounts on the one machine is very specific and none of the standard fixes have helped in any way.

Hope someone can shed some light on this.
