After reinstalling Outlook (be sure to follow the directions to save folders that contain your mailbox data in case you need it), Search in Outlook started to work! Since my mailboxes are imap (vs. pop), I just let Outlook rebuild all of the mailboxes on my Mac (which took another 6 hours).

I also checked the Outlook 2016 mdimporter and it appears to be the same version after reinstalling Office 2016 as before - so the hypothesis that there is a new Mojave version of the Outlook mdimporter appears to be false.

It would be great if someone at Apple could escalate this to the software engineering team that maintains Migration Assistant. The overall migration was a breeze with the exception of how Outlook 2016 was migrated from High Sierra to Mojave. I realize this is a Microsoft application but it would be great if this 'just worked'.
