Windows 10: Windows search won't find certain files

I'm having a strange issue with Windows search.

I have a folder with dozens of articles saved in PDF format. If I open the folder and use the search bar to find a particular file by name it shows zero results. If I navigate to the immediate outer folder in which the article folder is stored and perform the same search, the results come up. If I go one more folder up, again no results. No results either searching from the taskbar.

This also happens with folders containing EPUB files.

Checked the indexing options and the folder is included. The index file has also been re-indexed.

What the—?

Search in certain files


Hi,
how can i search within the content of only certain files ?

Also, is there a page that contains the list for all Win10 search functions ? I'm looking it up since 30 minutes but can't find anything.

I need to seach the term blabla in all .doc files, how is that syntaxed in the Win-Explorer search. Seems its nothing like it was in previous win8 version.

Thx,
Frank
