Windows 10: File Explores is super slow when searching the entire One drive file!

When I run a File Explorer search on my entire OneDrive file it finds files very slowly (several minutes at least, with a 'Working on it...' message displayed), when previously it was almost instantaneous. However, Search functions correctly (instantaneously) when I run them within individual files within the OneDrive file. However, I need to run searches with all files within my OneDrive 'drive'. How do I change my search options?

Stored files in Hard Drive

You can use Windows search. Just search for *.* on a desired drive. When list is done just arrange them by size LOL.

You can do it via command line as well and make an output text file showing files and their sizes (but without arrangement)

 

File Explorer Search Not Working


I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.
