Windows 10: search returns duplicate results

In Search Locations under Search tools in Outlook 2019, my email is listed multiple times. I;m sure this is why the emails are listed multiple times in a search. When I remove the check mark next to one of the duplicate search locations it reappears when I remove the check mark next to another.


How do I remove these duplicate search locations?

Windows Search returning no results


Windows Search returning no results on one of my external harddrives.

I've trawled through pages of Google's advice and I have already:

• Tried indexing the HDD and rebuilding.
• Non-indexing and rebuilding.
• Indexing only specific folders on the HDD and rebuilding.
• Specifically disabling indexing for this drive in the drive's properties.
• Checked that I have the appropriate permissions on the drive (they are identical to my other HDDs).

Crude example of my problem:

• I am looking for the following file, A:\Example\test.txt.
• I am inside the A:\Example folder.
• I search for "test", "*" or "txt".
• It says there are no results.

And it says "no results" instantly - it doesn't appear to even try.

I do not have a second drive with sufficient space to move the contents to do a format - so I'm looking for non-destructive solutions.

Based on solutions I've been proposed since posting this thread:

• Does the HDD work on another computer? Yes. While searching on that computer it says "searching non-indexed locations will be slow", as I would expect. The issue must be with my computer and not the HDD.
• Does outright disabling Windows Search in the Services do anything? Yes - I can now search the drive, but it is painfully slow.

 

WIN10 search not returning results from indexed drive

Greetings

Windows 10 taskbar (Cortana) search is not returning results from an indexed drive. Both the C and D drives are indexed (specific Locations) and task bar search returns results from everywhere but the D drive. However, if I search via file manager search
returns all the results.

I have tried

• rebuilding the index
• stating and stopping the service
• running the troubleshooter (find a permissions problem)

The machine is fully patched with the latest release.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Searching in 'Settings' returns no results

I have posted a question about getting no search results in the 'Settings' window previously (that is, the 'find a setting' text box), and got no help from it.

I have read other people having the same issue. I just decided to try a fix for a related but slightly different search issue, and it worked!

So if you are not getting any search results in your 'Settings' window I recommend following the suggestion on Fix for Windows 8.1 not returning settings results - CmdrKeene's Blog
