    search working in text files but in pdf irregular


    I have around 50000 one page text files and same 50000 files as pdf in a folder. When I search a numeric world , then the search displays all the text files which are having that number in them but for pdf it says no record found. Sometime if the search number is of 2 or 3 digit then few pdf files get searched. Pl guide why pdf are not getting searched or irregularly searched.

    Closing the thread as got solved by two things, first adding pdf ifilter in indexing location and then adding the folder to it.

    :)

    Windows 10 doesn't find my files

    On my desktop if I make a search of a name of a PDF file it doesn't show on the list of the found files.

    This is not happen only for a file but it seems happen for all the files under the directory of "Google Drive"

    > C:\Users\wow\Google Drive

    How can I fix this issue?

    Also, is it possible search into the text of pdf files?
