Enabling fulltext search in Outlook 2013
Hi,
is there any way to enable a simple fulltext search of the inbox in Microsoft Outlook 2013?
That is, except certain add-ins that cost almost as much as a Windows license...
Help would be very much appreciated.

Till

Search within Outlook 2013 will not search subject unless i specify "subject:()"
I am having an issue with Outlook 2013 where if I search for lets say "computer" and I have a message with the word "computer" in the subject line, it does not find it. If i search for "subject:(computer)" then it finds it.
It's as if keyword searching isn't working but if I specify where I want it to search it works. I tried doing it on a computer that did not have any Office updates and it works as it should so I have a feeling that it must be an update that changed the functionality.
Is anyone aware of this issue?Hi,
Please try to delete and rebuild index to check the result. To do this, click in the Search box, under
SEARCH tab, click Search Tools > Search Options > Indexing Options >
Advanced button > Click Rebuild button. Restart Outlook to check the result.
If problem persists, we can also try to run a repair of your Office installation to check the result, To do this, please refer:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
Please let me know the result.

I tried rebuilding the index and doing an office repair but neither helped. I tried it on another computer and had the same issue. Only place I get it to work is when no office updates have been installed. I am not sure when this stopped working so I cannot
pinpoint which update might have caused it. -
Hi,
we are using UCM 11g in our application. Database is oracle 11G for the UCM. We need fulltext search to be enabled on UCM. But there two option to enable the fulltext search DATABASE.FULLTEXT and ORACLETEXTSEARCH.
Can anybody please tell which option should be used to enable fulltext search.
Thanks in advacance...Hi Nitin,
We can configure the new file formats for full text search. Steps below:
Log in to with Admin permissions.
Go to Administration -> Admin Applets -> Configuration Manager
Options tab -> File Formats
Go to File extensions section add your new file extension for which you want to enable the full text and map to some text format or word format
Now, you will be able to full text your own extension based file. I have verified, it's working well
Please note that, if the file extension is more than 8 characters (default value) you will not be able to add;
But, you can alter the table "ExTENSIONFORMATMAP" and can go ahead with longer extensions. Hope this will be useful.

Office Outlook 2013 no search results
Installation:
Server 2008 R2 Terminal server
Office Outlook 2013
This is a new server install and happening the same for all 15 users on the server, Admin s and users.
I am unable to display any results when searching mail box. I modified and rebuild the index many times. I have un-selected and re selected files and
added pst files. I am able to start outlook in safe mode and search with no problem. Users are able to search programs and files in windows start menu.Hi,
Did you installed any add-ins with your Outlook? Please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable all add-ins you have installed to check the result.
If the problem would be gone when you disable all add-ins, we can try to enable the add-ins one by one until we find the problematic add-ins.

Outlook 2013 Search on Server 2008 R2 - non-functional
The instant search on our Outlook 2013 is constantly turning up the "We couldn't find what you were looking for" message. It is installed on Server 2008 R2 with Citrix providing desktops to our users. The PST files are being stored with
the rest of the user profile on our domain controller (separate machine). For testing purposes I had tried moving my PST to the C: drive. Have tried rebuilding the index and still not working. One thing I did notice was that if I uninstalled windows search
from server manager and installed the indexing service, search functioned properly (this is not ideal), however, every time I would launch outlook I would get a message that it was installing 64-bit components. How can I get search functioning for our users?I thought I'd post what worked for me with this problem. Your post is old, but I figure others may benefit from this solution.
I found an old Microsoft Support post about "Search" and Outlook being installed properly on a Terminal Server. I followed the procedure and it worked for me on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Outlook 2013. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222303)
The following assumes you've enabled the Windows Search feature via the Server Manager.
Install Office and then you must run Outlook as an administrator first. Once you've done that the search tool will properly run and index everything for others on the terminal server.
If you've already installed Office and users have already been using Outlook then you need to repair your Office installation to get Outlook's search working properly. To fix this simply login as the administrator, run the Office repair tool,
then run Outlook as the administrator before any of your users on that terminal server do.
That's it. Once you do that you'll find that the Outlook search begins to index everything properly. You may want to rebuild the indexes by using the rebuild commanded in the Control Panel under Indexing Options.
This worked for me perfectly on three Windows 2012 R2 terminal servers. -
Outlook 2013 search inbox not searching all inbox items
Hi
I have setup outlook 2013 to cached 12 month worth emails and trying to search an email in inbox search tool, only getting few results. When I click More option it takes long time to display results.
Can we fix this issue, can we setup outlook to search all the emails in inbox faster.
I am running
Windows 7 with Office 2013 fresh installed
Thanks,
KrisIf we set the Mail to keep offline to 12 months, when you perform a search. the search is performed only against the local data only. You are presented with the option to find more on the server.
If this is not the case but the wrong search result issue. Please perform these:
• Check for pst/ost-file corruptions (Use Scanpst.exe tool)
• Disable and then re-enable the file for indexing
• Rebuild the index
• Reinstall the Windows Search feature in Control Panel > "Turn Windows feature on or off"

Outlook 2013 crashes when opening Calendar search result
I have a user who uses her Outlook 2013 calendar extensively, mainly to note for herself when she has spoken to a customer, and creating appointments for when she needs to speak to them again. (This is outside of our policy to note the contact in
MS CRM.) She can have scores of such Calendar items each day.
When seraching for these appointments in her Calendar, she gets the list of results, but Oulook crashes when she tries to open any of them. Sometimes Outlook restarts on its own, sometimes she must relaunch it herself.
Related threads reference a wwlib.dll error, but she is not getting that. It is Outlook.exe itself that is crashing. There are other threads that reference other open windows, or items containing webpages or tables, but these do not apply to her, either.
Event Data (two related entries) contain the following:

On answers.microsoft.com, Girish M (Support Engineer who eventally directed me here), asked me to run Scanpst.exe. I would paste the results here, but this window does not seem to allow pasting. A summary description of what it found on her .ost file (no
.pst in use) is basically this:
**Beginning NDB recovery
**Attempting to open database
**Attempting to validate header
**Attempting to validate AMap
**Attempting to validate BBT
**Attempting to validate NBT
**Attempting to validate BBT refcounts
??Couldint find BBT entry in the RBT (E025CC)

Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6CD
Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6DE
Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6D8
and so on, and so on, with a few hundred more FLT RowID errors, finally ending with:
**Attempting to locate any orphaned folders/messages
**Performing Final HMP validation
**Attempting to check top-level objects for consistency
**Updating folder hierarchy
**Verifying message moves
My understanding of the Scanpst.exe process is that it also disables any addons which might cause crashing, but the issue is still being experienced. Running Scanpst.exe a second time (appending the previous log, although it seemed to actually prepend the
file) only returned a few lines from the top of the result above ending with "Attempting to validate BBT."
Fixes not attempted yet that I have found performing searches include running the Office Repair tool, or checking for KB2817631 (a Word update that is apparently having adverse affects on Outlook, not attempted yet because it seems to be related to the wwlib.dll
error, which is not happening here).
Any thoughts out there? Thanks!Mavis,
Thanks for the reply. Running Outlook using /cleansharing and
/cleanroamedprefs did not have any effect when used individually or in combination with each other.
Running the Search Index Rebuild option also did not seem to do anything, as the pop-up message indicated that it may take a long time to finish, and yet seemed to finish instantaneously, not giving any indication that the indexing took place. The option
window immediately said "Indexing complete" for 23,755 items.
As to the Outlook Forum, they are the ones who directed me to this forum (you can see the thread on the Answers support page under Office - Office 2013 - Microsoft Office Outlook - Office on Windows 7, under the title "Outlook 2013 restarts when
opening Calendar Search result item" first posted on Dec 11, 2013), as Girish M felt that it might be due to Exchange, and not Outlook. (I have no reports of any of our other users on the same Exchange server having the problem with their Outlook, but
they also do not use it the way this user has been.)
I can repost the issue there, or continue the same thread, if you think the issue lies with them. Was the "Answers" site the improper place to post, perhaps? Should it go in a different thread on Technet instead?
Thanks for your assistance!

Thanks again! -
The Outlook 2013 "Search People" box does not function properly. It frequently displays incorrect results or a mess of duplicate results. I've reported previous issues about this and consolidating my posts into one (with screenshots this
time). Hopefully this message will be forwarded to or seen by the Outlook programmers. It really needs to be fixed.
Outlook 2010 and other prior versions worked perfectly. You search for name, you get ONE result with the info you're looking for. FAST AND EASY. But with Outlook 2013 Microsoft has created a heck of a mess resulting in huge frustration and productivity loss
with such simple but important tasks.
I have hundreds of contacts stored in my Outlook address book, and they all have COMPLETE contact info added.
One major issue that I'm experiencing in the new Outlook 2013 is that I now get average of 4 or more duplicate name results appearing for the same contact. And each result contains different and incomplete contact info, making it impossible for me to quickly
find the basic info I'm looking for. The cause of this issue is that Outlook 2013 now provides results from not only your local address book(s), but it also shows results based on your email history and social media accounts setup.
And there's no way to turn this off, or at least specify what folders and/or accounts the People Search box should use.
To make matters worse, the Microsoft developers conveniently forgot to add some form of an indicator (like a small icon besides each name result in the list) that clearly indicates what result is from what source. So you must manually click on each
result one at a time and repeat the search until you locate the correct one.
For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my local address book called
Infusionsoft. When I type "Infusionsoft" in the People Search box to quickly find a phone number, Outlook 2013 shows me 7 results with the same name. See the screenshot below:
As you can see in the screenshot above, every result just says "Infusionsoft", so I have to manually click on each name result one at a time and repeat the process until I find the correct one from my address book. This same thing happens with other
random contacts.
From what I can tell, Outlook is pulling results based on based on recent emails I've received from different people with "@infusionsoft.com" in their email address. So the first result shows "[email protected]" (just the email
address), the second result shows "[email protected]", the third result shows "[email protected]" and so forth. I don't want Outlook to show all of that. I just want what's in my address book!
And you would think that the last result would be the correct one from my address book, but no. Sometimes its the 5th result, and other times it's the 3rd or 7th result. So there's no freaking order of things here.
We simply need the ability to turn off searching of email history and other accounts when using the People Search box. Problem fixed.
(And please don't tell me that I need to "link" every incorrect result to one main contact. You shouldn't expect everyone to have to tediously link any and all results that appear to a record. ESPECIALLY when 5+ results for each contact appear regularly.)
ISSUE 2: Some names must be typed in a different way for the Search People to locate them
Another big issue I'm having with the Search People box is that some name searches don’t show the correct result, unless I search for their names in a different way.
For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my address book named "Dave Johnson". When I type "Dave Johnson" in the Search People box, one result appears, but it's just his email address, only. It's not the result that's stored in my Outlook address
book with his phone number, addresses, etc. Screen shot below:
If I type in Dave's name reverse order (Johnson Dave), no results are found at all.
Now if I just type in just"Johnson" all by itself, it finds Dave's correct result (the one stored in my Outlook Address Book). Along with everybody else that has "Johnson" in their name (see screenshot below)...
I double-checked how I have Dave's name programed in my address book, and it's in there as "Dave Johnson" for both the Full Name and File As fields.
Also, the name order shouldn't make any difference when using the People Search Box anyway. Sometimes I can find people by Last Name, First Name or First Name, Last Name. Only with random contacts does it get difficult finding their info and
I have to do strange things like this to find them from the People Search box.
ISSUE 3: Some Search People results only yield an email address only.
For other random contacts, some search results only yield an email address with no other contact details. But I can open the persons contact card from the address book manually, with the same email address shown! Screenshot below...
In the screenshot above, I have outlined the Search People box results in red, and the Address Book results in green. You can clearly see that "Robert White" is a contact stored in my local address book with full contact details, but the Search People result
only shows his email address! Again, it's not consitent. It's hit or miss with different people.
ISSUE 4: Some results just don't appear at all, but they are in the address book
Another issue I'm experiencing with the People Search Box is that some people simply cannot be found. But I can see their contact info just fine if I click on the "People" tab down at the bottom of the page and type in their name in the "Search Contacts"
field. Why can't the People Search box find certain people? I opened up their contact details and cannot find a single thing that would prevent them from showing up in results.
These are clearly serious bugs that need to be fixed. And I'm shocked as to how this got missed--or ignored during alpha and beta testing. I see the "idea" behind the developers having the Search People box search everything outside of the
address book, but in real world application this causes a heck of a lot of problems & confusion, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
For technical details, I have Outlook 2013 running on two computers using hosted Exchange 2010. One system is Windows 7 and other is Windows 8. The same problems occur on BOTH computers. As far as my Outlook account setup, I have all contacts stored in the
main address book (no sub-folders or other folders).
Can someone help communicate this message to the Outlook developers??? The "Frown" button limits me to 100 characters and one image. There's no way I can communicate this level of detail and steps to duplicate in 100 characters!Thanks for your reply.
1) The instant search boxes in each individual page work just fine. If I am on the People page and type in a name in the "Search Contacts" field, it searches my contacts and displays the results that I want. But I should not have to leave whatever screen
I'm in to find people now. In Outlook 2010 and earlier versions, I could be on the calendar page and then search for a contact without clicking off the calendar completely. For productivity-sake, it's a huge waste of time and hassle now.
2) I'm familiar with how contact linking works, and quite frankly it's a huge mess in general. I NEVER create multiple contacts for the same person. I get that Outlook 2013 get confused now when it detects a LinkedIn or Facebook account for the same person
already in my Outlook address book, but we need to have options that allow us to turn off results from some or all social networks. This is a big part of the problem.
Think about it this way - The average person has 150+ LinkedIn connections, and more for Facebook. Many people today have accounts for both and they are setup with the same email address. When Outlook 2013 has to scan all the networks IN ADDITION to your
local address book(s), it's a no brainer that it can get very confused trying to display results.
Another big part of the problem is that Outlooks new search system also scans your email history. I receive emails from people who use multiple email addresses, or emails from companies with multiple reps or ticket systems that send you a unique
ticket ID # ending in the same email address domain. Now Outlook displays people search results based on everything under the sun in my email history. This is beyond frustrating (see my "Infusionsoft" screenshot above in the first post).
Again, I want to stress that for the search examples I referenced, I only have one entry in my Outlook address book for each person. And that's all I want to find when I search for people--what's already in my own address book!
In summary:
We need an OPTION to turn off searching external networks when using the People Search box
We need an option to tell Outlook to not scan email history for people search results (I think this needs to be disabled entirely actually. It's not helpful at all)
There should be a fixed priority for displaying people search results, with local address book results FIRST, followed by social network results.
There should be a clear icon/indicator next to each result that gives you a clue as to where the result is coming from. Your address book? Facebook? LinkedIn? We should not need to click on each result to get a hint as to where it's coming from.
Work out the bugs in general with the new search system.
One other thing that I didn't mention is that the Search People box also shows results for people I'm not even "friends" or connected with on the different social networks. But I've noticed that some people use the same email address for those networks that
I already have programmed for them in my address book, which is why Outlook sometimes shows me these results. Does that make sense?
I'll try rebuilding the index, but after testing Outlook 2013 on 3 different machines so far and seeing the same results (all slightly different results on each machine and very inconsistent), I doubt this will address the issue. -

Outlook 2013 - Searching All Mailboxes... doesn't!
Hello. We have a number of users that are having problems searching their mailboxes. We are:
Outlook 2013
Cached Exchange Mode
Fully Indexed
Selecting the option to search "All Mailboxes"
Only brings up results from local inbox.
I have tried this at our help desk on several computers, same problem.
I have read through some of the postings on here, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas? Can't see recreating profiles for a large group of people and then have it not work. Recreated my own profile and still won't search my shared mailbox.
Thanks!
~ChrisHi Chris,
Sorry for the delay. It's the normal behavior of Outlook to not include shared mailbox even if you select to search "All Mailboxes".
Some users reported that they can search shared mailboxes after checking the box "Download shared folders" under Account Settings > More Setting > Advanced. You may also test it if possible. (I've tested it in my environment, but it didn't work.)

Outlook 2013 archiving doesn't work when cached mode is enabled
Hi All,
I have a problem in Outlook 2013 which I've been able to replicate on two separate PCs, operating against two separate Exchange servers. In both cases, archiving of old items does not work in Outlook 2013 when cached mode is enabled. It works
fine if cached mode is switched off so I don't believe the problem is related to the archiving settings.
Has anyone else come across this?
Thanks,
Matt
Systems Engineer
BOM Group LTDBased on my knowledge, Outlook auto archieve setting is stored in registry and only affects on local host.
If the AutoArchive doesn't work anymore, please refer to the follow article to troubleshoot the issue

If we are talking about Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving, I think it would run fine when you in Exchange online mode as your expected.

Outlook 2013 crashes when PDFMaker add-in is enabled
Outlook 2013 crashes when the Acrobat v.11.0.3 PDFMaker add-in is enabled. Outlook 2013 will automatically disable the add-in.
The Outlook 2013 version is 15.0.4517.1509, 32 bit. Windows 7 Pro 64 bit is the OS.
Below is the screenshot of the Outlook Account Info page.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.I was having to start Outlook 2013 two times every time I turned on my computer (running Windows 8.1 64-bit). The first time, Adobe Acrobad crashed Outlook, disabled PDF Maker, and closed. The second time Outlook started, told me it disabled PDF Maker, and gave me the option to re-enable. I then click to re-enable PDF Maker.
However, I tried LoriAUC's suggestion #1, to launch Outlook 2013 as Administrator. When I did that, Outlook just started up without disabling PDF Maker and without crashing. And PDF Maker remained availble to use within Outlook. That's the way it should always work.
So, I remember that Outlook ran fine with PDF Maker until this month of February 2014. I wonder what changed, Outlook or Acrobat Standard Edition so that Outlook crashes (unless running Outlook as Administrator).
In the meantime, I wonder how to make Outlook start as Administrator automatically without my having to do any extra steps. Or is there a better fix. -
How to enable mail trail lines in Outlook 2013 conversation view
I was wondering if this feature still exists in Outlook 2013.
In Outlook 2010, when using conversation view, you can see the trail lines showing the "conversation tree". Please see the first image at the following link (can't post direct link or image as my account, though should be, is not verified): office.microsoft{dot}com/en-gb/outlook-help/view-email-messages-by-conversation-HA010362041.aspx
The closest feature in Outlook 2013 is Use classic indented view in Conversation Settings but it only indents the messages.So, what exactly is the benefit of Outlook 2013? As far as I can tell all they've done is let me see less mail (because the fonts are gigantic now), ruin the interface (with all the color and icons gone it's harder to find things), ruin the text rendering
(some parts use ClearType and some ignore it), and remove features (search from start menu, conversation threads line, etc).
I get it, now it looks like a phone, because obviously smartphone email is what we should aspire to. A+ work. -

Search for a specific time frame
If you are looking for messages from a specific period of time, try adding those dates as a condition. In the Advanced Search box, type the following, using your time
frame for the mm/dd/yy spaces:
Received/between/mm/dd/yy and mm/dd/yy
Increase your search limit
If you want to see more messages than the 250 that Outlook will automatically bring up for you, you can bypass this limit.
Go to
File > Options > Search.
Uncheck the
Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown, check box in the
Results section.
Click
OK and then restart Outlook for the changes to take effect.
Adjust your cache settings
Outlook 2013 will automatically keep an offline cache of messages going 12 months back. If you want to change this setting:
Go to
File > Account Settings > Account Settings.
Check the Exchange account you want in the
Email tab, then click Change.
Under
Offline Settings, adjust the slider to change the amount of the time that your mail will be stored in the offline cache. Make sure the
Cached Exchange Mode box is checked.
Exit and restart Outlook for the changes to take effect.
Search through subfolders
To search through subfolders in addition to the current folder, look for a box next to the search box that has a drop-down menu. Select Subfolders from the menu. You
can also choose the search the Current Mailbox or All Outlook items.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards
