Windows 10: File folder search function no longer works

As I was looking for files it suddenly stopped being able to find files.
I have attached a few screenshots to show how it does not find anything; for example "OV" or with ".pdf".
I have tried every of the following suggestions from the following website:
Fix File Explorer Search Not Working in Windows 10 - Troubleshooter

File folder search function no longer works

Welcome to tenforums.

I understand you have done everything in that linked document including an in-place upgrade repair install (which would have required downloading an iso file of the same build, or equivalent).

Please post a sreenshot similar to this showing that that folder is included in the index and indexing is complete.




Now please add one file to that folder that should be indexed, and post a screenshot showing the number of indexed items has incremented.

This will show whether search indexing is active.

Now try searching for that file and post a screenshot showing the result, including the search string used.

The icons are unfamiliar to me- a cloud superimposed- could you explain what those are? Suggests you may be looking at folders via a cloud storage service.

Further, I think your search string should be *VO
Example:







Thanks.

I did not really understand what I should do here. I have MANY folders so not sure where to add which one.

Yes they are using: Box

Didn't make a difference

I put the file from my personal drive--> documents saved on my own laptop. and moved them into the Box. by adding the number indexed actually went down.
So the index only shows items on my own laptop?
