[German<\/a>]Brief information for users and administrators of Microsoft Office 365. I have received a message from an IT service provider who reports a problem with customers that the search in shared calendars in Outlook has been broken for a few days or that Outlook even crashes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"Blog reader Uwe, a German IT worker, contacted me on Facebook in a private message and reported about the problem that his customers are currently experiencing a broken calendar search in Outlook 365. He wrote under the title \"Outlook Calendar Search in Office 365 shared calendars broken\":<\/p>\n

Hello G\u00fcnter,<\/p>\n

maybe interesting for you. Since a few days we get more and more feedback from different customers that in shared calendars (online mode) cannot be searched anymore.<\/p>\n

Scenario 1) Finds no results, Can search locally, shows results.<\/p>\n

Scenario 2) Outlook crashes<\/p>\n

I haven't found anything on the net yet in a hurry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it's about the search in Shared Calendar under Microsoft Outlook 365 (whether Outlook 2016 – 2021 is also affected, I don't know). Uwe wrote that his IT colleagues report same feedback from. And there had been another feedback from another IT colleague:<\/p>\n

We have it, when searching inboxes of shared mailboxes; occurs so since Wednesday last week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it seems that something has broken from Microsoft when searching online in shared calendars (Shared Calendar). A quick search of my own on the Internet did not reveal anything in this regard. My question to you: Has anyone else made this observation and is there a known solution?<\/p>\n

Shared Calendar is a special feature in Microsoft Outlook, where a user can share his calendars from Exchange, Microsoft 365, or Outlook.com with other users. Microsoft has described the feature in the article here<\/a>. Something similar is also available for mailboxes (Share Mailboxes).<\/p>\n

Shared content is always good for problems. There is this Microsoft Answers post<\/a> (from February 2020), but without\u00a0 a solution. There is also a post Outlook search not working properly in shared mailboxes<\/a>, but it is already from July 2022, addressing a search problem in shared mailboxes – doesn't really fit either. There was a reference to this Microsoft support post<\/a> about setting the download options for shared mailboxes in cached Exchange mode. I don't know if it's the cached mode in the current case – the reported Outlook crashes don't fit into the picture. There is nothing in the Known Issues for Outlook<\/a> either – the last post is from May 2023.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
