    Windows 10 file explorer search does not work on one external USB hard drive


    I have eight external USB hard drives always connected to my pc. File explorer "search" always returns "no items match your search" on just one particular drive although there definitely are matching file names. The drive is listed in the Index Options locations to be searched. I have used the index troubleshooter many times; it indicates it has fixed the "windows search is not working" issue, but the problem persists on the one drive.

    :)
