有时您可能会发现您的Outlook 搜索^{(Outlook Search)}灰显或无法正常工作或被禁用。在某些情况下，Outlook甚至可能会发出错误消息，例如 –出现问题，您的搜索无法完成^{(Something went wrong and your search couldn’t be completed)}，或者搜索结果可能不完整，因为项目仍在被索引^{(Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed)}。

许多计算机用户以及商业领域的用户都面临这个问题。它也很容易修复，但这对每个人来说都不是显而易见的。

Outlook 搜索灰显

如果Windows PC上Microsoft Outlook中的^{(Microsoft Outlook)}高级搜索^{(Advanced Search)}功能不工作或灰显，您可以通过Outlook 选项^{(Outlook Options)}、注册表^(Registry)或组策略^{(Group Policy)}解决问题。让我们深入了解如何解决此问题。

通常，当任何特定软件出现问题时，我们倾向于查看注册表，对于这个特定问题来说确实如此。但是，直接跳转到注册表不应该是您的首选，因为还有另一种方法可以解决问题。

第一步是通过程序本身导航到Outlook 选项；^{(Outlook Options)}点击位于左侧窗格中的“搜索”选项卡。^(Search)之后，单击Indexing Options，然后选择Microsoft Outlook。要继续前进，请点击下方的修改^(Modify)按钮，然后通过勾选旁边的框再次选择Microsoft Outlook 。

单击 OK^{(Click OK)}，这应该是您的问题的结束。

如果这不起作用，请打开注册表编辑器^{(Registry Editor)}并导航到以下键：

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search

在右侧窗格中，创建一个新的DWORD（32 位），将其命名为PreventIndexingOutlook并为其赋值0。

单击^(Click)“确定”按钮，查看是否已解决问题。

检查组策略设置

在此期间，您可能还想查看组策略^{(Group Policy)}设置，并在需要时进行轻微更改。

运行^(Run)gpedit.msc 打开本地组策略编辑器^{(Local Group Policy Editor)}并导航到以下设置：

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search

在右侧，您将看到阻止索引 Microsoft Office Outlook^{(Prevent indexing Microsoft Office Outlook)}。确保将其设置为Not Configured或Disabled。

就是这样。一切都应该立即启动并运行，有问题或小问题。只需^(Just)确保正确遵循说明即可。
