  • If the problem is due to search slowness while items are still being indexed, it could be due to AutoRecon reindexing all the mails. This normally happens every 72 hours. This also can be verified by enabling SearchProtocol Log. Need to check if the problem happens at certain times every three days. The slowness will be more pronounced in bigger accounts. If the user search activity coincides with the period during with Autorecon reindexes all mails, slowness or partial results will be observed. The solution is to disable AutoRecon in the registry.

Steps to disable the automatic reconciliation

If the recondisable policy setting are enabled, automatic reconciliation will be turned off.

If the recondisable policy setting are disabled or not configured, Outlook will reconcile its index every 72 hours.

Outlook 2013 software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\outlook\search
Outlook 2016 software\policies\microsoft\office\16.0\outlook\search
Outlook 2019 software\policies\microsoft\office\16.0\outlook\search
