Outlook 2010 missing from indexing options

Question

When I go to the indexing options, and under "index these locations:", Microsoft Outlook is missing from the included locations.

Things I have tried when searching this site and google.

1. Did a office Repair
2. Enabled the indexing in features of windows.
3. Unchecked windows search restarted and ticked the windows search in features of windows
4. Tried the troubleshoot search and indexing link for email problems; Everything is up to date.

Most post has a dll that is disabled for the indexing service in the features part of windows., but that is normal since outlook index is built in with windows search.

How do I add the Microsoft outlook location icon on this list? I did come up on post stating that if you uncheck outlook from indexing locations that you will not be able to get that icon back. Which I am guessing this is the case.

Any help appreciated.

Solution

I've also found that the "Windows Search Email Indexer" Outlook Add-in must be enabled, inside Outlook options.

The fix for me was an Office Repair, but since you tried that, look at these other tips... try this: support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2769651

Open Microsoft Outlook 2010 and have it running. Now open Indexing Options. Click Modify and check if OL2010 is listed. I tried it in my system and it worked.
