Anyone know the ins-and-outs of the Search: box in windows explorer in Win 10?
I knew I had a file with “Upgrade” in the file name (#1 in pict below), but using the windows search (#2) in explorer wouldn’t find it. I think because it is not separated by spaces.
I think it might be a security settings issue, as It doesn’t find anything in that folder. The parent folder (whose files do appear in the search) has a security that includes “Everyone”
So I’m thinking that the search indexer just isn’t allowed to see that folders contents.
I’m going to change the security and then give the indexer time to crawl those “newly indexable” folders
It’s “kind of” a network share. Its a sub-folder of my Google Drive. So it does physically exist on my C: drive. And happens to be scanned by Google Backup & Sync, for synching with the copy on the cloud
Possibly rebuilding the Windows Search index
or worse, try a new Windows profile
I’ve run into a few issues with Win10 profile corruption - where just a few, minor things don’t work as expected - but drive the users crazy.
