Windows 10: Search Box not showing results from other hard drives

For example, my documents on on my Data drive G:, and although it is indexed documents don't show up in search. Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

Try to add your secondary drive in the indexing options.

Type in the Indexing options in the start search box and click on Indexing options from the search bar results.

Click on Modify on the Indexing options window. (Enter

Check the secondary drive (which you need to fetch the results from the search box) and click on OK button. (If the secondary drive is not visible, click on Show all locations, enter the administrator credentials if prompted))

Now, try to search and check if you are able to fetch the results.

Also make sure you take ownership of all the folders on the second drive.

Restart then it should hopefully start working.

 

Saving File Explorer Search Settings

I am Using Windows 10 Version 1607 OS build 14393.576

The previous version I was using was I believe 1507.

In 1507 when I searched for something in file explorer it would always search with the details view, which is how I like it.

Now with 1607 when I search in file explorer in defaults to content view, which I don't care for.

Now I can specify in the view tab that I want details and that I want "date" listed not "date modified" and I want the length of a video show too, the problem is that it usually goes back to showing me search results in content view when I go from viewing one
external hard drive to the other, though not always sometimes it will keep my settings for awhile but will always go back to showing me search results in content view.

Now I have folder options set so that my preference is displayed in my external hard drives but not when I search those hard drives.

How can I get file explorer to save my search settings ?
