recently in outlook 2016, when search across mailboxes, results see error:
"something went wrong , search couldn't completed."
the timing of seemed happen shortly after windows update performed. in several years i've never seen error happened. initially, couldn't search results @ all. so followed steps clear , rebuild outlook search index found instructions online. so started getting results again, still messages appears twice @ top above results.
so had several archive folders open, closed them all.
i went , clicked on each of 4 email accounts have (top level of folder hierarchy) , did search, none of generate error message. it comes when select "all mailboxes" when search.
3 of accounts imap, 1 exchange (outlook.com) account. i deleted outlook.com account, removed .ost files , re-added account. that made no difference.
any ideas how rid of error - unfortunately doesn't same account/folder generating error messages makes difficult troubleshoot such limited information.
