Hi everyone. I'm having trouble with Windows Search on my Windows 7 Home Premium.
Through the start menu search box, I can find some but not all files. Programs almost always show up, but it's very hit or miss on files for music, documents, photos, or email messages (Windows Live Mail). It seems like it's more likely to show up if I have recently modified the file. Also, in Windows Explorer while browsing files I can see the files in the window but if I type the name into the search box in the corner, it says that file doesn't exist in the folder, which makes no sense because it is obviously right there.
So far, I've run the Searching And Indexing Troubleshooter and rebuilt my search indexes multiple times. It says I have 874 items indexed. Is that number particularily high or low? I don't really know, as it may be the source of my problems. Both of these solutions haven't yielded any results. Any help would be great!
