Outlook 2013 Search - attachments

HI FOlks:
I have Office 2013 pro. I have OUtlook connected to Gmail. basic search works fine (Indexing / Search Service is on).
What I'm trying to do is search within attachments (like word / excel). WHen I open Outlook, put my cursor in the search box in outlook, choose 'more' and 'attachment contains', the box that shows up to type words in the attachment field is locked and I
can't type in it.
I have used the Search options to tell the indexing service to index files.
but I cannot figure out why I cannot type in the attachment contains box.
any help would be appreciated.
Bob

Hi,
We can try open Outlook with /cleanviews switch to check if this issue was caused by corrupted view. To do this, press Windows key + R, type
outlook.exe /safe in the Run command and press Enter.
We can also try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and then set up your email account in the new profile to test the problem. To create a new mail profile, please refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918
If above not working, please try to run a repair of your Office installation to check the result:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
Please let me know the result.

Highly frustrated with Outlook 2013 Search People box bugs - Multiple Name Results for Same Contact & Inconsistent Results

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 XLS Attachments cannot be opened in Excel 2013 due to Trusted Center restrictions with Outlook Secure Temp Folder

Dear all,
I'm having some serious issues with Office 2013's Trusted Center settings. In Outlook 2013 XLS Attachments cannot be directly opened in Excel 2013 with double-clicking due to Trusted Center restrictions for Excel 2013 regarding Outlook's Secure Temp Folder.
I tried to adjust the corresponding Office 2013 Administrative Template within my GPOs but to no prevail.
I did find out that Outlook 2013 places an attachment within the Outlook Secure Temp Folder located at "C:\Users\a.ollischer\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\PPIU10RW” before passing it to Excel 2013 in order to
open it. It fails due to not trusting this location though I added the corresponding path to my Trusted Locations.
What can I do in order to make this work without having to tediously save each and every attachment to "My Documents" prior to opening it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Maurice 7785,
Deal and customize attachment security behavior to access such kind of blocked file format. Usually, Outlook does not allow users to open such unsafe type of attachments. It means they are blocked them by default, so you need to unblock such items using REG
values.

Outlook 2013 Search Problem.

Hello friends,
My outlook 2013 search box gives no result. I cant find anything after I move pst file from D:\ to D:\outlook\ folder.
Actually there are many topics about this issue in technet and I check the related topics, so I found a little solution.
If I put a check to "allow this file have contents in addition the file" in pst file properties I going to rebuild index and restart outlook seach box working clearly. But one day later, I see the pst file properties unchecked So search
box doesnt work again.
I create new profile but nothing changed.
Do you have any idea ? This is important so I cant find old emails. :( Thank you all.

Brilliant! I have been looking for this solution for the last month! Apart from re-indexing/ repairing .pst files/ Re-installing .pst files / changing registry directories and setting defaults. Something as simple as de-selecting the "Microsoft Outlook"
worked finally. Thanks Emreoz! I can search my emails again

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!
~Chris

Hi 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 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 Term not Highlighting

Hi
I have Outlook 2013 running on a Server 2012 RDS Server connected to Exchange 2010. When searching, the search term is not being highlighted in the results
Can someone advise
Zatdam

Zatdam mentioned outlook running on server 2012 RDS. The search function definitely doesn't highlight results even with those options ticked and highlight color is anything but white. Have you tested this out in terminal server environment? It works
fine on PCs and all but not in TS.
We just moved a bunch of users from local workstations to RDS 2012 and they use Outlook 2013 in Online mode. Their search works but it will not highlight the matching terms.
Is this by design in a RDS environment? is there a fix for this?

Outlook 2013 search not working with public folders

Hi everybody,
We have a problem that our Outlook 2013 clients cant search public folders. Any search we try returns empty results. We are running exchange 2013. Outlook is running in cached mode.
Thank you!

Hi
To solve the issues in Outlook 2013, please follow these steps: -
In order to have the Instant Search feature for Public Folders behave the same as for your mailbox, the following conditions must be meet: -
Outlook must be configured to cache
Public Folder Favorites.
(and of course the caching and indexing must have been completed)
The
Public Folder must be marked as a Public Folder Favorite.
The search must be performed from within the
Favorites section of your Public Folders tree and not from its actual location within
All Public Folders.
Thanks and regards

Outlook 2013 Search Functions?

The search function for my outlook 2013 works sporadically or not at all, or sometimes only when I click on the search "more" (even when the email I am searching for is in my inbox and received within a couple days. So in other words it normally
bring up the results in chronological order, but it does not do that necessarily in this case). Also the search function does not work while searching contacts as well. I use and exchange account and when accessing the information from the web access portal
and my phone there is no issue with searching.
Are there settings to make the search function work properly?
Please advise.
I have set up a separate profile to test settings and fiddle with the back end, but I am not able to search my emails/contacts properly.

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that search function failed in both Outlook 2013 and OWA seem to all users.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Is there any relevant error in event log?
Please run Test-ExchangeSearch “Identity” to test Exchange Search functionality for a Mailbox server, a mailbox database, or a specific mailbox.

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,
Kris

If 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 Quick Print not working for HTML attachments.

I have to print multiple orders that are received as attached HTML files (Sometimes 20+ attachments). In Outlook 2007 (On XP) this worked fine I could print the email with attachments and everything would be waiting for me in the printer.
I just got a new computer running windows 7 and Outlook 2013 and I can no longer print the attachments.
I printed through File, Print, Printer Options, Print Attached Files - Email prints, no attachments.
I tested with an attached DOCX and PDF - Both print the email and attachment.
Quick Print HTML attachment - Nothing Prints.
Open Attachment in Internet Explorer - Prints fine.
Changed Default Program for HTML files to Firefox and tested quick Print - Nothing Prints
Changed Default Program for HTML files to Word and test quick Print - Prompts for program to use when opening (for every attachment), I choose Word, it opens but does not print.
I've been searching for anything else to try but I'm running out of ideas Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

To resolved this issue i tried below trouble shooting:
1) Repair MS office 2013
2)Uninstall and install office 2013
3)Rename the Outlprnt file to Outlprnt old from C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\
4) 2 times Re install printer drivers
5) Creat new outlook profile
if you Unable to print from Outlook 2013 without receiving the "Printer not ready" message (32/64 Win 7 Pro).
This changed worked for us, by selecting the Advanced properties on the printer and changing the default setting "Start printing immediately" to "Start printing after last page spooled".
I hope it works for you, good luck in your quest!

Exchange 2013 with Outlook 2013 - Not getting pop-up or mail tips for attachments exceeding max size

Our environment is Exchange Server 2013 CU3 and Outlook 2013 in cached mode. We have a transport rule that sets the max attachment size to 20 mb.
If someone sends an attachment larger than 20 mb they receive an NDR letting them know the message wasn't delivered because it exceeded the max attachment size. We would like for the user to be prevented from sending the message at all or to at least
get a mail tip before they try to send the message. The Outlook pop-up message that says "The file you're attaching is bigger than the server allows. Try putting the file in a shared location ..." isn't being generated for us. Not sure if that's
because we're running Exchange or not. If that pop-up isn't going to work it would be nice if the user could at least get a mail-tip warning them that the attachment exceeds the limit. But it doesn't look likes there's a mail-tip for attachment size, only
for message size. And, I've found that the message size mail-tip only works if the limit is set on the user. It doesn't seem to work if the limit is set via a transport rule.
Has anyone else gotten Outlook to present the pop-up or a mail-tip when exceeding attachment size? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks but I performed all of those trouble shooting prior to posting to the forum. But, I have found the answer!
After referring to this article;
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124345(v=exchg.150).aspx
I removed the 10mb default limits from the organization config and chose to set the attachment and message size limits in our environment via transport
rules instead. That is the only way you can actually set an attachment size limit.
I had read this article several times searching for an answer;
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2813269#appliesto
The key is here;
"If you are using an Exchange Server account, the 20-MB attachment
limit for Internet email accounts is not used by Outlook 2013. Instead, Outlook uses the limit that is configured on your Exchange server. To modify the setting that is used to control the size of a message that is sent through an
Exchange Server account, follow these steps."
The steps that follow are for Exchange 2010 but they show setting organization limits not server limits. And note that it
says the size of a message, not the size of an attachment. Since mail-tips for message size are not displayed when the limit is set via the transport rules I thought it
was possible that the same inconsistency might apply to the attachment pop-up warning. I set the organization limits and voila! The pop-up now displays when an attachment that exceeds the message size limit is added to a message.
This is exactly what I wanted. Now users won't fill up their sent items trying to send large attachments that just bounce anyway.
It would be wonderful if Microsoft would provide information about what features of Outlook are affected when you apply message size limits at the
various levels.

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.

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)
**Attempting to validate header NID high-water marks
**Beginning PST/OST recovery

      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!

I listed all updates because there have been reported instances of a Word update causing Outlook to crash, but she is not getting the wwlib.dll error related to that KB. If you are aware of any issues with these updates, and which ones might be worth uninstalling
in an attempt to fix, please let me know.
Thanks again!

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.

Windows Search not working for Outlook 2013

Hello,
I am running Outlook 2013 under Windows7 Pro. The search within Outlook works perfect, but I am used to also get Outlook results from the Windows Search under the "Start" menu: Office documents are beeing displayed but no Outlook Mails as it used
to be under Outlook 2010.
Can someone help ?
Andreas

This is by design. We can find the deprecated features here -
