    File Explorer never stops searching.


    Greetings all,

    Since upgrading to Windows 10, my file explorer never stops searching. All my files are displayed but the green search bar just keeps scrolling across the top. Anyone else having this issue?

    Paul

    File Explorer Search Never Ends

    When I initiate a search in file explorer, the "search results in OS (cFile Explorer never stops searching. :)" never finishes -- I have let it go on for hours before stopping it.

    For example, this:

    "tpb datemodified:today kind:=document"

    won't quit -- it's still "working on it..."

    Why doesn't it quit?
