I have a question about indexing. When I search for a file (that i know the name of) i keep getting no results to pop up in that start menu window. BUT the second i hit the “see more results” button, bam, it shows exactly what i was looking for. i have the location these files are at included in the index… i just dont understand why it would say there are no results until i hit “see more results”. what makes this even stranger is when i have my external hdd plugged in (which i also have indexed) and do a search for one of these files, the file on the host machine AND the backup i have on the external show up together.

I am unable to get this window indexing options to open at all, even in safe mode, any suggestions?? I am having many issues getting programs to open at all after a recovery operation :0(

Im getting a message every 10 minutes saying my indexing isnt working, and when i open the window theres nothing on the included or exclude columns and the advanced button is grey. Any tip?

Many thanks for this! I’ve been having problems with bringing results back when I search ever since I stopped indexing and then turned it back on again, but now I’ll try re-building it and see how I get on.

Cheers!
