Reader Abby Conrad has a problem with a forgetful email client. She writes: In the last week or so I’ve been trying to search for messages in Microsoft Outlook and it shows no results, even when I can scroll through my inbox and find a message from the sender I’ve searched for.

Now, to the tried-and-true methods for fixing Spotlight indexing issues. Launch System Preferences, choose Spotlight, and click on the Privacy tab.
