    Indexing & number of items indexed. Is this normal ?

    Hi, not sure what you're experiencing.
    What appears odd in your video is that opening and closing a file appears to cause the number of items indexed to increment.
    That should not be so.

    Hazarding a guess, I'd suggest it's something to do with having changed the defaults related to 'User' in Indexing options. You could be indexing temporary files unnecessarily.

    Compare:

    index number 191530d1528452548t-indexing-number-items-indexed-normal-1.jpg


    I would suggest you need to reset your Indexing Options to default and rebuild the index.

    The first of these is NOT obvious. Try

    Indexing is not working

    Hi Doc,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    This issue may occur due to corrupt Windows search files or settings. I suggest you to follow the below method and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I would suggest you to run search and indexing troubleshooter
    and check. Please follow these steps:


    • Type troubleshooting in the search box on taskbar.

    • Click troubleshooting in the search results.

    • Click "View all" and then click "Search and Indexing".

    • Click "Next" and follow on-screen instructions.

    Method 2: Check if Indexing and Windows Search services are enabled. If not, enable them, if they are already enabled, then disable Windows Search Service and then enable again and restart.


    • Press Windows key + R.

    • Type services in the run box, go to the Windows search services and restart them.
    Hope it helps.
