Hello friends,

My outlook 2013 search box gives no result. I cant find anything after I move pst file from D:\ to D:\outlook\ folder. 

Actually there are many topics about this issue in technet and I check the related topics, so I found a little solution. 

If I put a check to "allow this file have contents in addition the file" in pst file properties I going to rebuild index and restart outlook seach box working clearly.  But one day later, I see the pst file properties unchecked  So search box doesnt work again. 

I create new profile but nothing changed. 

Do you have any idea ? This is important so I cant find old emails. :(  Thank you all.

I found the solution:

In the indexing options - Modify: I deselect the "Microsoft Outlook" and just let selected the folder which have pst file.

Now search function working clearly.

Regards.

Worked perfect...Much faster!! Much cleaner

Regards,

Brilliant! I have been looking for this solution for the last month! Apart from re-indexing/ repairing .pst files/ Re-installing .pst files / changing registry directories and setting defaults. Something as simple as de-selecting the "Microsoft Outlook" worked finally. Thanks Emreoz! I can search my emails again

Thanks Emreoz,

It's also working for me. But only one thing is that I have to press enter key after putting any words in search box.

Any way thanks a lot of for your help and appreciate it.

Bharat.
