Office 2010 Outlook Search and Indexing not working

Hello,
I'm hoping someone may be of assistance as this has been plaguing my outlook for some time now.
Problem:
When attempting to search for any emails via the search bar, it appears as if it is attempting to search, but I receive no results. 
Windows 7 x64 Service Pack 1
Office 2010 Service Pack 2
Connected to Office 365 Exchange
In services Windows Search service is not running, though Automatic (Delayed Start is selected), I attempted starting the service but it returned with an error saying it started and then stopped.
In Outlook options > Search > Indexing Options > the service is shown as "Indexing is not Running" and the list of indexed folders is empty. Everything else is grayed
out except "Advance Tab" which only has one button available called "Rebuild", everything else is grayed out.
I am aware this question was asked a few years back but the linked articles referenced are no longer working.
Though I seem to be having a similar problem and any assistance and new suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Please check if you can search mailbox in OWA. If OWA works well, the issue is related Outlook.
If it is the same issue in OWA, in Exchange 2013, you can use the following command to check the content index state of the mailbox database where this user is.
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | fl name, contentindex*
If the content index status is Failed, please try to reseed the search catalog. After that, please rebuild the index in Outlook to check the result.
If you are using Office 365, I recommend you ask this question in Office 365 forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of this problem. You might get a better answer there.

  • Office 2010 - Copy, Cut, and Paste not working

    Firstly, I am on a corporate domain and most of our users are using Windows 7 with the Office 2010 suite, both of which contain the most current updates. My problem is that some users are unable to copy and paste from one application to another.
    For instance, User A is unable to copy or cut cells from Excel by either right-clicking and selecting the option, or by keyboard shortcuts and then pasting into another area of the same document or any other document like notepad. User
    B, cannot complete the same operation in Outlook from email to email or from email to lets say, Word.
    However, and it's a big HOWEVER, none of this happens while the browser is closed. I have seen this with all three of the major browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. So all functionality comes back with the copy and paste once the browser
    is closed, and if you reopen the browser the problem reappears as if the browser takes over the clipboard.
    If anyone has a solution or suggestion your feedback would be much appreciated.

  • Office 2010 build-in translate function not work

    Hi there,
    The Office 2010 translate function is not work on user's desktop, word/outlook/excel, none of them working. It was working before. at that time, I can simply select a word, right click and then select translate, from the right side pane, I can select from
    English to Chinese, and then give me the detail translation information of the word. But suddenly, this function was not working anymore and we did not change anything on MS Office. When I did the same steps, it shows no results were found.
    When I check the translation options, it shows English to Chinese is selected under available language pairs. The weird thing is, when I change the translation setting to from Dutch to Chinese, it translated to Chinese with the very simple result. so any idea
    to get it fixed?
    Regards,
    David

    Hi David,

  • BDM 6 using Office 2010 on Windows 64 Bit Not Working Need Help...?

    I've installed BDM6 on my 64bit Windows 7 environment and have found that Desktop Manager cannot find a trace of Office 2010  
    I then checked the Technical spec and found out that a 64bit system is unsupported... Which I find amusing....
    Does anybody have a work around solution so I can synchronize my data?  

    Don't bother trying to downgrade to 32 bits windows 7 or to 32 bits Office 2010.
    I can confirm ... as can 113 participants in a thread higher up this blog, that DM6 is a totally UNWORKABLE release full of fatal bugs.
    DM6 was announced as the solution for people running Office 2010 32 bits ... well it is entirely useless... so best you change phone or keep an eye on this  FORUM to see when the other two streams are likely to be "closed" out with solution!
    The two threads are :  "Desktop Manager version 6.0 Crashing" and "Updated to DM6, cannot Synchronise"....  if you have any spare time,browse through these ... makes for a good read and lots of suggestions but no solutions in sight!
    And yes RIM initially announced that they would not both about office 64bit until 2011!

  • Exchange 2010+Outlook Anywhere+Windows XP not working together

    Hello,
    We have Exchange 2010 installed on Server 2008 R2. CAS/Hub/mailbox roles on same server. Outlook Anywhere is enabled and using a Go Daddy signed certificate for OWA. Now my problem is that Windows XP (w SP3) PC's that are not located inside domain and
    shoud use Outlook Anywhere cannot connect to that service. Outlook version is 2007 SP2. On the other hand, that same user can connect from a Windows 7 pc what is also located outside domain without problems. On XP pc windows keeps asking for password repeatedly,
    on W7 pc it asks it and accepts and logs the user in and connects it to his mailbox. I have read numerous posts about this kind of issue, put so far none of them helped me. The certificate is issued to mail.domainname.ee and autodiscover.domainname.ee. The
    internal name of the server is excha.domainname.ee, external name is mail.domainname.ee. Also I used the Set-OutlookProvider cmdlet to set EXPR to msstd:mail.domainname.ee and also tried msstd:excha.domainname.ee this change did not have any effect on XP pc.
    What is wrong in XP and Outlook 2007 combination not being able to connect to Echange 2010?

    I was suffering from a very similar issue.  The one major difference for me is that I was using a wildcard ssl certificate for "*.contoso.com" which was not matching with the server name of owa.contoso.com.
    Behaviour definitely seemed to only manifest with Windows XP on the open internet (not domain joined or internal) trying to use either Outlook 2007 or 2010 to connect to our internal Exchange 2010 server via RPC over HTTPS.  Autodiscover was successful
    but user would be repeatedly prompted for their credentials but they would never match.
    The key changes that seemed to fix this for us were to make these updates -
    Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:*.contoso.com
    alternatively if you dont care whether the proxy server name exactly matches your ssl cert you can do this (not recommended) -
    Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -CertPrincipalName none
    These commands manipulate the Microsoft Exchange Proxy Settings under the Outlook Anywhere options under the connection tab of your mail profile.  In particular the field labeled "Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their
    certificate"
    Also, to force RPC over HTTPS and never try and timeout on TCP/IP connection (which cannot work through the firewall) -
    Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -OutlookProviderFlags:ServerExclusiveConnect
    This should click the checkbox for "On fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP"
    This should then allow autoconfigure to work fine when setting up your mail profile.  If you want to check the settings page you should have something that looks like this -
    Finally, please note that Autodiscover settings are updated periodically not instantly. I believe it is something like every 15m or so.  As such, make the changes above and then wait for at least 15-30mins before making any other changes. 
    I ended up chasing my tail and then some complete red-herring *seemed* to fix the problem.  It was actually something that I had changed 20mins before!

  • Large lists and indexing not working

    I have a library with 7000 entries in it.  I have 5 custom fields in the library, 2 lookup, 2 choice, 1 multiline text.  I have indices on the choice and lookup fields as well as title and modified.
    If I make a view and filter on doc type (indexed, choice) all is good. 
    If I make a view and filter on Category (indexes, lookup) I get the displaying only the newest results warning because the results are too long.  If I make a view and filter on Category and Subcategory (both indexed and both lookup fields)
    I get an exception (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131904).
    So, is there a limit to using lookups as an indexed field?  I've not seen that described anywhere but that is what this seems to be?  Any suggestions as to what is causing the exception?  Are the two things related?
    Thanks

    Hi Marcus,
    Per my knowledge, we can use two indexed lookup columns to filter list view.
    For troubleshooting this issue, I recommend to check the things below:
    Use another indexed lookup column in the list view filter to see how it works.
    To narrow down the issue, please save the list as a template, and then create a new list based on this template. Test with the same list view filter and then check the results.
    Check ULS log for more detailed error message for further research.
    Make sure that there are still enough free space for the SQL Server.
    What operators did you use in the view filter?

  • Search and index functions don't work with merged projects

    Until this morning, the search and index functions in my RoboHelp project worked okay; I have one Main project into which I have merged more than three dozen sub-projects.  About an hour ago, I created a new sub-project and merged it into the Main project; now, it's as if the topics in my merged projects don't exist.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks,
    Lon

    So when you open the merge you see all the content, it is just the search and index not working. This must be merged CHMs as you are talking about a Favourites tab so maybe your other comment is relevant. My understanding of merged CHMs is that you do not want spaces in file names, that could be the problem.

  • Office 2010 "outlook not installed"

    I have a user (I'm their IT support) who has a BB Curve 8350 (?) and when they try to sync to office 2010 (calendar and address book) it lets me configure it in Intellisync but then gives me an "Microsoft Outlook Not Installed" error directly afterwards.

    My MBP mid 2010 display blackout and froze while working but my keyboard light will still light up. Won't be able to retrieve it and have to hard shutdown. Sometimes it happens a lot. Wether it connected to power or not, it will blackout on and off. Please advice what shall I do.

    Do you have a 15" mid-2010? If so then your problem is surely...
    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
    Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
             com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff
                dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000
                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
             com.apple.nvidia.nv50hal(6.4.0)@0x83c05000->0x84019fff

                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • App-V 5.0 // Visio - Project with Integration + local Office 2010 Deployment Kit and COM settings

    Hi, I did read all the Microsoft and non-microsoft documentation first. However, I didn't find an answer to these 3 questions: 
    Situation:
    * Locally installed Office 2010.
    * Visio and Projects 2010 sequenced with App-V 5.0 SP3 sequencer with integration scenario (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2830069)
    * User-target of Visio and Project (I now according to documentation this should be published globally. Since not every user has a license this is no option. So far my tests do not show any problems with user-targeted visio/project)
    * Visio has "allow COM objects to interact with the local system" and "OutOfProcessEnabled" enabled
    1) When targeting both visio and project to the user with integration the licensing component only works for the first started application. Therefore I also install the licensing kit locally which make both the visio and project licensing work just fine.
    Anyone sees a problem with having the license kit installed locally and stream the applications with integration on top? With my tests all seems to work well. The advantage of this is that I do not have to have separate packages for integration and non-integration
    scenario's.
    2) To make drag-and-drop from visio drawings in word work I enabled the COM interaction and I need also to set OutOfProcessEnabled="true". Does anyone now how to set OutOfProcessEnabled to true inside the .appv (it is possible with application
    virtualization explorer) and not only manually afterwards in the xml's?
    3) Should these COM settings be enabled for project as well? It seems that pasting in word from project has not the same interaction, it just pastes a table.

    1.  We did similar, installed that MSI for the licensing component locally, and streamed Project and Visio 2010, and so far so good.
    2. There is no way to set those COM options inside the .appv.  You can set integrated vs isolated, but no IP or OoP COM, you have to use the deployment XML.
    3.  This gets tougher to answer, but it goes to how much isolation do you want.  Some of the articles are great just go over my head slightly, but have to deal with how the filter driver processes certain kinds of COM, IP or OoP.  With Isolated
    (as opposed to integrated) the COM systems (local and package) are totally isolated except for global exceptions.
    With integrated, you can further 'integrate' the COM subsystems by enabling those options.  Correct me if I'm mistaken though.
    So do you need to?  If everything works for you I'd say no, but you might find something else doesn't work without those settings.
    Also very important, you cannot join a CG without those subsystems being equal.  So if Project and Visio ever need to be in a CG together and the COM settings aren't identical, you will get an error at the client.
    I really like this article but not going to lie it goes over my head a bit (a bit or a lot depending on my coffee intake)

  • Office 2010 created PDF only bringing up Work with Certificates option with Signing

    When creating PDF documents with Microsoft Word 2010, the only Sign option showing is Work With Certificates and is greyed, I Need To Sign and Get Others to Sign is missing.  My previous PC with Windows 7/Office 2010 and Reader Xi was able to sign documents.  I'm also able on my old XP machine to create a dummy pdf in Word 2010 and sign it in Reader, and on my Windows8/Office 2013/Reader Xi PC.  Any idea as to where this might have been broken?
    With the PDF file created in 2013, I Ctrl+D'd to get the security settings as it's commonly suggested that electronic signatures is failing because of a setting there, however I'm still able to sign it with Signing: Not Allowed and get the full signing menu instead of the Work With Certificates.

    Hi,
    If you meet any problems when using our products, you can post the question here. Please post one question in a single thread, and the question should be posted in the proper forum.

  • Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows Server 2008 R2 domains

       Hello to all, there are two confliting articles about this topic:
       1-
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/upgrade-domain-controllers-to-windows-server-2008-r2(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Whatsnew : this one says that it does not work "The Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 does not work in Windows
    Server 2008 R2 domains". This article was updated in 2013.
       2-
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692314(office.13).aspx: this other article says that it will function "Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Group Chat will function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest". This article was updated in
    2010 and was refered by the first one.
       What is the correct support position for Group Chat feature in Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 domains?
       Regards, EEOC.

    Hi,
    I notice the following sentence in the link below “Office Communications Server 2007 R2, Group Chat will not function in a Windows Server 2008 R2 forest or when Group Chat member servers are joined to a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain.
    We know of an issue with changes in Windows 2008 R2 that requires a Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfix. The Group Chat Client and Group Chat Admin Tools hotfixes are currently scheduled for mid-April 2010.”
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2010/11/06/supportability-for-office-communications-server-2007-r2-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx
    So in my opinion, if you update to the latest version of Windows Server 2008 R2, OCS Server 2007 R2 and Group Chat Client, Group Chat Admin Tools to the latest version, it should work.
    However, the best method for you is make a lab to test the problem firstly.

  • Drag and Drop not working since last software update

    Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving  an icon on the doc and the same thing occured.  YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
