    pptx files don't appear in search results


    Ever since i installed Office 2019, it seems that when i search for text in my powerpoint folder, old ppt files show up, but not pptx. i've checked indexing options and everything else, but i can't get pptx files to appear in search results.


    Any ideas?

    :)

    Hi Taira,

    Disabling web results in the search box depends on the version and build of your Windows 10. We suggest checking the Windows 10 version and build installed on your computer. To check the version and build, follow the steps below:

    • On Cortana search, type winver and press
      Enter
      .
    • A pop-up box will appear containing the version and build of your operating system.

    Meanwhile, you can try these steps on how to disable web results in the search box:

    • Click the search box in the taskbar.

    Sorry, this is an English-language forum.

    PPTX files can be opened with Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or newer

    There are several additional options. See (in English):

    فایل های PPTX را می توان با Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 یا جدیدتر باز کرد

    چند گزینه اضافی وجود دارد. ببینید (به زبان انگلیسی): What's a PPTX File and How Do You Open One?

    File Explorer Search: Results not opening


    When I use File Explorer Search in my user folders, the results appear to have lost their association and do not open when I click them.

    Before search:

    pptx files don't appear in search results [​IMG]


    After search for "Get"

    pptx files don't appear in search results [​IMG]


    Note the icons have gone, the folder is not listed. Clicking the file does zilch.
