  1. Windows explorer search not workin


    Windows explorer search is not working on either of my computers. One is running 10 home and the other is running 10 pro. I have talked to over 2 dozen windows “tech” to no avail! Last step to complete on the 10 home computer is to rebuild the index. The indexing have been running for over 4 weeks now with 659210 complete and 188445 left. I get partial results some times but most of the time is doesn’t find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

  3. File Explorer Search Not Working


    I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.

    Search not workin gin Win10 - how to fix: Win7 could put in any word and Search would find the file it was in - lovely.
