Hi,

The search infrastructure is rebuilt in Exchange 2019 and this is by design.

Exchange 2019 uses the new search engine called "Big Funnel", using Bing technology to make the search even faster and provide better results. Search indexes are not longer stored on disk per Mailbox database, but search indexes are now stored inside the Mailbox database on a per Mailbox basis. So the context index for the database shows NotApplicable in Exchange 2019, and the unhealthy index state will become a thing of the past.

For reference: EXCHANGE 2019 RELEASED AND AVAILABLE ON MICROSOFT VOLUME LICENSE CENTER

Hi Lydia,

Can you please tell me how to enable Windows 2019 search engine, because the search doesn't work properly since I migrated to the new server?

Thanks and Regards,

William
