Outlook Error Message "Search results may be incomplete because - Microsoft Community

split thread.

my whole organization affected june's patch corrupted search function in outlook.   we, i.t. team, have been hoping fix this, , applied patch came out...problem is, did not fix problem.  we still message "search results may incomplete because items still being indexed", though there no movement files.  i hate roll each system in organization before june 13th fix search feature....especially when updates security patches.  is kb # of destructive patch known can removed?  do know of other users affected , patch did not work?  we use here, executive team relies on outlook search on daily basis.

i appreciate can offer........

btw...we not host exchange server, our mail hosted elsewhere, though use outlook client.
