Hi salman353,

I am Jaspreet Singh, an independent advisor.

Please follow the steps listed here

Start with rebuilding the index first.

 

Unable to make changes in Indexing Options

Hello,

We suggest to run the Search and Indexing Troubleshooter and check if it helps with the indexing issue you are experiencing.

Here's how you may run the Search and Indexing Troubleshooter:

• Press the Windows key + X, and then click
  Control Panel.
• Type Troubleshooting, and then click View all.
• Click Search and Indexing.
• Follow the steps provided by the troubleshooter.

Tell us how it goes.

Regards.

 

indexing

Thank you for tgrying to help me. I have followed this advice - I got right through to windows search - open search. the start up type is automatic - services status( it says 'stopping)' - the 4 buttons 'start' 'stop' 'pause' 'resume' are all grayed out.
I am unable to proceed further along that route. I have tried control pannel indexing options - indexing not running - and the index locations list is blank. The 'advanced options leads to the 'REBUILD INDEX'. Clicking on this - nothing appears to happen.
Have tried looking for some rebuild activity in Task Manager - processes - nothing listed there. When an Index rebuild is in process does anything show on screen?

Sorry - still can't get this thing to work. All the right buttons are there, but they don't work.
