since the upgrade to monterey mail search does not find results serching the mails

looking for an contact on the last email I'm seeing in the mailbox

after some seconds of search the search function says nothing found do you want to look in all mailboxes

I removed and added the mailbox

recreated the mailbox

deleted the index files and have mail re-import the mails

removed and added the mail option in spotlight

restarted the laptop

any ideas why the function might have stopped working

Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac - Apple Support

Stating who is your email provider might lead to more insight if rebuilding spotlight does not resolve it.
