Hi Everyone, I just applied 10.8.4 and suddenly noticed my Outlook 2011 (14.3.4 & connected to exchange) search stopped working. It never finds any results. I do see Spotlight results for outlook email files, but no results within outlook.
Things I have tried:. Reindex entire drive. Reindex Identities folder. Rebuild Identity. Create brand new identity.
Deleted some sync services plists Nothing has worked. This was flawless yesterday before I applied 10.8.4. Has anyone seen this and can provide some help??
It is a bit wild. I had previously moved MUD folder and it didn't work. I had also previously added that folder to Privacy and out again and still No Results. In fact, I created a new temp identity, moved the MUD into Library/Preferences and a draft email was showing up in Outlook, but not Spotlight as I expected. Who knows what broke the camel's back.
It may have been waiting all night or a combination of waiting and something else. When it finally worked, I followed this order:.
Close Outlook. Move Microsoft User Data (MUD) folder to Documents. Create a new identity, set as default. Open Outlook and configured my Exchange account. Executed the spotlight reindex command in terminal.
Let it sit all night I should mention that before all email had downloaded, but after the index had completed, search was not working, but somehow worked when I woke up. It is as if Outlook has to build some index of meta data in conjunction with Spotlights index to work. That is just speculation though. I also tried this, but thought it wasn't necessary. This is one of most annoying problems in OSX. I moved the MUD on my computers when the search methodology changed in Outlook to Spotlight. (I could not cope with hundreds of e-mail results when doing a simple file search.) And I don't want to have to change the MUD location, as we will end up with the original issue.
In addition to the other items people have tried. I also tried un-hiding the /library directory and re-indexing Spotlight, this didn't help either. Has anybody been able to find any documents on what changed in Spotlight in the 10.8.4 release? I deleted my Identity and moved my MUD back under Documents.
That was a bit of a pain, since I sync my entire Documents folder to Dropbox. Evertime I unchecked the MUD folder in the Dropbox selective sync settings, it would also delete the MUD folder locally, but keep its online copy. Finally got that to work, and used terminal to hide the MUD folder so I don't have to see it.
Then created a new Identity, and now search within Outlook works again. Whatever 10.8.4 changed here.I hope they'll reverse that.
I got it back and this is what I did. But first, some history. A year ago, I moved my MUD (Microsoft User Data) to the /Library/Preferences because main Spotlight search shows outlook messages which I do NOT want to see. By moving my MUD (which for most people is in the Document folder ), the Spotlight search no longer shows email.
Outlook 2011 search continues to work after you force re-index. Then I upgraded to 10.8.4. This broke my search in Outlook, although spotlight search for everything else works. I re-index but Outlook Search returns 'No Results'. The fix is to move the MUD back to Documents folder (in my case, /Users/prat/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities). Then to force the re-index, I go to System Preferences - Spotlight - Privacy tab. Add my Document folder.
Wait 30 seconds. Then remove it which trigger the index (mds process in Activity Monitor) My guess that OSX 10.8.4 fixed the issue that I had a work around for in step 1.
My MUD folder is 14GB so I guess my local emails should be in my Documents folder after all. Hope this helps someone. I did NOT have to re-create new identity.
Hello, I am experiencing the same problem. As a result I have: 0) Rebuilt Identity 1) Moved MUD back into Documents 2) Added and then subtracted Documents from Spotlight which is now causing re-indexing of Spotlight. 3) There was a backup identity created which was causing some problems. I have moved that Identity into Trash.
Currently, Spotlight is returning Outlook message and contact results. So at least I can access the data once again. Two questions: A) However Outlook is still not returning any search results. Anyone have any suggestions? B) Is it now possible to move MUD out of Documents?
