Re-indexing Spotlight - Outlook for Mac

Recently I have been unable to search within Outlook for Mac. The suggestion came up to re-index my Outlook mail folder from my "hidden" Library folder. Easy enough to do, but my question is;


Can I view the status of the re-indexing for Spotlight?

Cheers Jack, unfortunately what I have done above is exactly what the 'help' function from Microsoft tells me what to do.

It says to apply the folder to the spotlight privacy function, and remove it again, to force spotlight to index.

I'll delve deeper into microsoft outlook, and see if they have any other solutions.
