    When I search for a document it is opening a random document not the selected document.


    We have a person in the office that does a search for a document, in this case she is searching for a document titled Table of contents. When she types it in windows key + document partial name, the document she wants pulls up and she selects enter, or even selects with mouse, and a random Word document opens - not the document selected. Thought it might be a corrupt file, but if you open the file explorer it will pull from there, but not in a dynamic search. I'm thinking it might be a search index issue. Any other thoughts?
