What version of MacOS?

For more information, please see: Search doesn't work in Outlook for Mac after MacOS upgrade.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, meanwhile, if you are using Office 365 account, please use the Outlook Web App to search for emails as a workaround. Your understanding and patience will be highly appreciated. 

Moreover, if your Mac OS is not Mojave, you may do following steps to see if it helps: 

1. Go to "~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/Main Profile/Data". 

2. Move the Outlook.sqllite file to your desktop.

3. When the Rebuild is completed, open Outlook and try searching again.

4. If you can successfully search for emails, then delete the 'Outlook.sqllite' file from your desktop.
