The Windows Search Engine is currently disabled. Outlook will not be able to provide fast search results using the Instant Search functionality unless the service is running. Well, like any tech savvy user I went into the Windows features section and found that Windows Search was in fact enabled. Then I figured, the service may have just stopped running or something happened and it couldn't start properly when I turned the laptop on. So I went to the Windows Services and found to my amazement that it was running just the way it should. Again, being a technical person with fairly good troubleshooting skills my next step was obvious and it worked!
