    Windows search doesn't find file


    This is something that's confused/annoyed me for a long time. I have a folder full of PowerShell scripts. They're mainly in the PowerShell naming standard of verb-noun, e.g. Get-NetworkInfo.ps1. Here is an example of me typing "Get-" into search and note how Get-NetworkInfo.ps1 is there in the first screenshot. However, if I restrict the search to "Get-N", the search results is blank. Even "Get-N*" wildcard doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:
