Finally the Advanced button will lead you to more finely-tuned options, which can have a big impact on how much of a bother Search Indexer is to you. The first place you might want to visit when trying to reduce how much RAM, CPU and hard drive bandwidth the program takes up is the Modify button under Indexing Options. This will show you the locations that are currently being indexed. By removing locations that you have no interest in searching, Indexer will finish its processing more quickly.
Under the Advanced options found in Indexing options, we can modify even more aspects of how the indexer works. One interesting option is to change where the search index is located. Moving it to a secondary drive or to a fast SSD can remove it from competition with the rest of the operating system. The other area that can help reduce how much time and resources the Search Indexer uses is File Types.
By limiting the file types that Indexer cares about, you can skip over a lot of the work. If your indexer is set to index file contents as well as file properties, you can try changing it to only index file properties. That should make a massive difference to how quickly Indexer does its thing and gets out of the way. Instead the index itself has somehow been corrupted.
In this case you can force Search Indexer to completely rebuild the index. Simply select the Rebuild button shown below and confirm you want to rebuild the index. It can take a long time, but you can see the progress of the process in the main Indexing Options window.
Because it can take a long time, you can start the rebuild before going to bed and have it run overnight. If search works, there may be an issue with your old profile. You may want to make this profile the new default profile and transfer information from your old profile to the new one.
When searching for older results, you can use filters to narrow your search criteria. If Outlook finds too many results, older items may not be displayed. For more information on how to use filters, see Learn to narrow your search criteria in Outlook. The steps to access the repair tool vary depending on your operating system.
