Log in as the Local User, go to Services and make sure Windows Search service is running.
Then go to Control Panel, Index Options and make USERS, Outlook and any other folder you want is selected in locations.
Then go to Advanced and Rebuild the Index. Watch that Indexing is proceeding and then wait (several hours) until done.
Now try searching.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You need to remove group policy causing this to happen
o Do not search communications
o Do not search for files
o Do not search Internet
o Do not search programs and Control Panel items
These are distinct from the GPO that disables Search availability. "[These options] will not make the search box go away. It just becomes inactive."
