    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

    File folder search function no longer works

    I suggest you remove your cloud drive from the equation until it's clear indexing is working on your internal drive. Were you trying to use Windows search indexing to find things only in cloud storage? Items indexed should be as per your Indexing Options. I've certainly never tried using it to index something in cloud storage. Unless that appears as a drive letter you wont be able to specify it in Indexed locations.

    Note this discussion about indexing Onedrive as an example:
    OneDrive indexing for WIndows Search – Feature Suggestions for Microsoft OneDrive
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...3-88984b798fce

    But here Dropbox is reported as being indexed:
    OneDrive Personal does not show up in Indexing Options after moving to C:/OneDrive in Windows 10 - Super User

    Does that mean searching indexed locations on your internal drive works?

    Otherwise:
    Please check search indexing is working as per post #4.
    Then try open explorer at an indexed folder and try searching for a file on your disk.

    Search in File Folder

    Hello,

    My laptop has Windows 10, and there was a Windows Update completed earlier. I don't know if this is a coincidence or not but the following problem was not prevalent until now.

    When I open a file folder and type in my search request, the search box no longer has characters type inside the box. I get a drop down list of suggestions with a clock like symbol to the left of the suggestions. This has been very frustrating as I have
    been trying to change this for the past 45 minutes back to how my search was before.

    I just want to be able to type in my search in the search box and have what I type spelled out in the search box like before- and bring up my requested files.

    Please help me get my file folder search box to work like before.

    Frustrated.

    Thank you,

    Tommy
