Especially security updates KB 3203467 and KB3191898 seems to be the root cause. A user at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/sysadmin\/comments\/6h7q0h\/psa_kb3203467_breaks_embedded_attachments_in_a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reddit.com<\/a> thread reported such search issue. I read several forum entries reporting similar issues (see <a href=\"https:\/\/community.spiceworks.com\/topic\/2005797-outlook-2010-sp2-search-broken-after-june-13-2017-updates\">here<\/a>). Re-building the search index seems to help in rare cases, but it's not a general fix. I've discussed this issue also within my blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2017\/06\/17\/outlook-issues-after-june-2017-security-updates\/\">Outlook issues after June 2017 security updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Update KB4022716 for Windows 10 Version 1703<\/h2>\n<p>A few days ago Microsoft released cumulative update <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/4022716\/windows-10-update-kb4022716\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KB4022716<\/a> for Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703) (see my blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2017\/06\/28\/windows-10-updates-kb4023543-kb4022723-kb4032693-kb4032695-june-2017\/\">Windows 10 Updates KB4023543, KB4022723, KB4032693, KB4032695 (June 2017)<\/a>. During writing this blog post, Microsoft's kb article didn't mentioned the following item:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Addressed a reliability issue in Windows Search.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After comparing my blog post and the updates kb article, I found the sentence about Windows Search has been added. I became aware of this, because a German blog reader posted a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.borncity.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/30\/windows-10-kb4022716-bereitet-neue-update-prozedur-vor\/#comment-45754\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">comment<\/a> at my blog post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.borncity.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/30\/windows-10-kb4022716-bereitet-neue-update-prozedur-vor\/\">Windows 10: KB4022716 bereitet neue Update-Prozedur vor<\/a>.
