Removing Outlook Search Results Limit - Microsoft Community


hi,

i using outlook 2016 (build 1609 v.7369.2120), 32 bit installed office click-to-run in order use shared activation mode. i'm connected office 365 mailbox email cached. running on new pc, email cache has finished downloading, , outlook believes email has finished indexing. there 35,000 items in inbox alone.

by default, outlook 2016 seems impose search result limits of 250. remove limit, can uncheck box in file >> options >> search >> improve search speed limiting number of results shown. increases limit 1000, , creates registry key in hkcu\software\microsoft\office\16.0\outlook\search searchresultscap , sets 0.

according documentation can find, searchresultscap should take value , make new result cap. doesn't. value other 0 forces outlook go original default limit of 250.

is there way remove limit, or searchresultscap flag exists determine whether or not "improve search speeds limiting number of results shown" checkbox checked?

this wouldn't frustrating, switching search location "current mailbox" "all mail items" yields unlimited results, option default search location in file >> options >> search >> include results from: mail items doesn't work @ all. no matter selection make, defaults current mailbox.

** edit additional info **

this behavior replicated on build 7369.2118, , on @ least 3 different pcs 2 different mailboxes.

hi dekar27,

have done tests in multiple computers , different accounts. registry key won’t take effect on searching limit. information , have reported related teams. currently, don’t have eta solution.


understanding.
