Office 2016 Mac Search Not Working

Feb 07, 2018 Outlook 2016 for Mac does indeed have cache, this can be cleared by doing the following: In the navigation pane, Ctrl+click or right-click the Exchange folder for which you want to empty the cache, and then click Properties. On the General tab, click Empty Cache. The emails that are not found are seemingly at random. I see that my question has been put on hold as it does not have 'enough detail', and I appreciate the brevity, but there really is little else to say. There is no apparent pattern to which emails are not found, and I certainly know how to use Outlook. – CaptainProg Mar 20 '19 at 10:16.
