Outlook 2011 email search missing

A few weeks back my outlook 2011 search was not returning all the results.  So to fix it I recreated the index file on the local drive.

To list status of the index:
$ sudo mdutil -s -a
/:
Indexing enabled. 
/Volumes/HDD:
Indexing enabled.


To erase and rebuild index:
$ sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/SSD
/:
Indexing enabled. 

The search spotlight icon in the corner of your mac will have a little dot.


After the rebuild outlook will start to return all the results for email searches.
