Hi Chris,
What's your account type? Exchange, POP or IMAP? For Exchange account, do you have cached Exchange mode enabled?
Does Outlook search return no results? Does this issue happen to all users?
We can first try repairing Outlook data files to see if it helps.
If issue persists, we can also rebuild index to test the result. To do this, please go to Control Panel > Indexing Options > Advanced > Rebuild.
Any updates, please feel free to post back.

Perry

Hi Chris,
I was informed yesterday that there is a known issue that after installing this update on Windows Server 2016, instant search in Microsoft Outlook clients fail with the error, "Outlook cannot perform the search".
To alleviate the symptoms, run sfc /scannow as described in step 3 of Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files. Then restart Microsoft Outlook.
Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
Reference:"Outlook cannot perform the search" error in Outlook clients on Windows Server 2016
Hope the information is helpful to you.

Perry
