Windows 10: file name search not working windows 11

cannot search files via name.

Windows 10 search for a specific folder name and file name

Carlos: Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is what I have been doing. I search for folders with a specific name and get a list. Then I have to search each folder for a specific file. So it's a two step search and that's what I was trying to avoid.

I assume there are applications out there that allow for an "AND" search in Windows. I'll try that approach.

Thanks, again.

 

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.

 

Search in Windows 11 not searching within files

It appears that content search for Windows Search on Windows 11 is broken. On my own brand new machine I can search other files but not PDFs.. None of these rote and time consuming suggestions seems to work. I am curious is anyone, anywhere can search the contents (not file names) of PDFs with windows search in windows 11. From what I see posted on the internet the answer is no. But Microsoft will not acknowledge this as a bug.
