I have been an Office user for many decades starting back with Windows and a PC and then switching over to Apple in 2008 and starting anew with Office for Mac 2008 and continuing. I have been noticing that Outlook for Mac is not progressing into a facile email client.

But Outlook tech support from the Help tab in Outlook provided two Terminal commands and a restart and a wait time after the restart of an hour (I waited many) and the two commands restored the search function for emails and contacts. I also lost the search feature when upgrading to 2021 from 2019. Could it be just my Monterey build? Prior updates were never great and making Outlook less and less efficient and easy to get things done. In fact with each update Outlook is getting clumsier and clunkier.
