  1. Search function in Win10 will not search C drive


    I've tried altering the search parameters with in the 'settings ' to include the C:/ drive and have tried rebuild and it still only searches mainly Bing and occasionally my files. Can I delete this and either download it again or is there anothr commercial app which does actually search the pc rather than act as an ad for Bing?

    Thanks

    :)

    Search function only searches C: drive

    Hi Babu,

    Thanks for the reply nonetheless. I ran the commands like you suggested and both commands completed successfully but it detected to corruption and the search function still does not find anything that isn't on the C: drive.

    Search function in Win10

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion, but as I stated in my previous message, I whitnessed this behaviour on various machines. Can you confirm that the search function works fine on your PC when repeating the same steps I described?

    The search function - Win10

    This is the slowest, most painfull way to find files I can imagine.

    Is it possible to cache the elements on a network drive, or any other way to make this search more efficient? It takes literally minutes to do a few searches, wich is a complete waste of time.

    And why in the world would it start the search over again, just because I choose to rearrange the list - by size, date etc?

    Will you ever make this function not a rageinducing experience?

    Sincerely,

    -Ole
