  1. Indexing.


    Whenever I try to find a document of a word in a document, I can only get "Indexing Options" and "Included Locations" and "Exclude". Both are empty and I cannot enter anything. Can you please show me a STEP by STEP guide to indexing. I know nothing about computing and all of the threads appear to be written by people who had at least some idea of computing.

    :)

  3. 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.
