    Search Not Indexing Optical Drive

    Thanks,

    • When you mentioned D Drive, are you pertaining to a partition or a separate external drive? - D Drive = Solid State Drive; 1 of 2 internal drives (the other being an optical drive);
    • Were you able to check if indexing was already completed? - Indexing completed on each attempt of rectification;
    • In the meantime, we suggest that you run the Search and Indexing troubleshooter - Done prior to posting; useless! It does not find any problems.

  3. Windows 10 Index locations not all showing up in search

    Hello,

    There might be some settings missing or corrupted.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to remove the D drive from the indexing and run the indexing troubleshooter.

    Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter:


    • Press “Windows key + X” to click on “Control Panel”.

    • Click on “Troubleshooting” and click on “View all”.

    • Click on “Search and Indexing” to run the troubleshooter.

      Once this is done, restart the computer and check if this helps.

    Method 2:

    Re –build the indexing by adding the D drive and verify the result.

    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

    Windows Search response speed - partially indexed drive vs fully


    Hi, I see a huge difference in how fast it takes for an indexed item to be found on a drive between the drive being fully indexed, and selectively indexed.

    if I index a couple of folders on, say, drive H:, then use search in file explorer to find something indexed with H: open in file explorer, it takes a relative age for an indexed item to be found. Green progress bar creeps across..

    If, however, I have all of H: indexed, finding said item is very very quick.

    Now logical me would expect the search to first scan indexed items, then the rest of the drive/partition. But the green progress bar in the partially indexed case suggests that the reverse is true.

    Any thoughts? Thanks!

    (P.S. I normally use a 3rd party tool to find things- so much more convenient and faster, which explains why I haven't bothered thinking about this much before).

    Related: I suspect Cortana's message 'These results may be incomplete' when doing a documents search reflects the above. Now I have H: fully indexed, Cortana can find text content there instantly, whereas on E: where have two folders indexed, I get that message- equivalent, I guess, to the green progress bar.
