search issues

Consider an example directory containing: IMG_0209.JPG IMG_0210.JPG Some_PDF-numKK.pdf If I want to find the pdf, and happen to remember that it had "numKK" in the filename, I might reasonably search "numKK" and expect to find it. In practice though, this will return 0 results. A search for...

Hi This is a weird one. I posted a while back about internet searches not working as well as they used to. Well today I was looking for the address of some one I haven't seen in a long time that we are going to have lunch with. I typed in, (the names have been changed to protect the innocent)...

This has just started happening in the last week. Never had it occur before. Can anyone help solve this? After doing a Google search and bringing up a page of website options - I then try to click on the website link I want to look at. BUT as I click on the website I want to go to - the page...

Having tried Win10 on my Lenovo T61, I found too many problems with hardware and restored Win7 from an image backup. Since then, my Windows update consistently tells me to upgrade to 10 and, when I try to search for new Win7 updates, it just searches for hours with no results or reports that...

I'm in the windows Insider program and have been running Windows 10 in a virtual machine. The last upgrade to 10565 has problems. Start and Search don't work. I did not upgrade from Windows 7 or 8. Can I just create a new VM and do a fresh install? If so what about the key do I skip that at the...

Since my upgrade to Windows 10240 from 8.1, file search (windows key + search string) returns no results. Rebuilt index from scratch. Not working. Any hint?

Hi If you click search from the start button right click menu it opens a search panel on the right side of the screen. It has 3 categories, Everywhere, Files and Settings. If I type in the word "Lucy" (I picked Lucy because it's my animated character and there are a lot of files like Lucy...

Windows 8.1 Hi, I had an issue with the general user folder name, which was shown as "Alex_000". Although this was a cosmetic issue only, I wanted to change this to "Alex". I successfully managed this by changing about 50 entries in the registry (via regedit). So fine so good. Now I found...

This is a minor issue but it is bugging me. I have uninstalled "HP Coolsense" from my PC and can't find a reference to it anywhere. But it still shows up in my windows search (the one that shows up from the right) . . with an icon and everything (unfortunately I can't snip that but I could the...

Good morning, I have a network under a domain where server is powered by windows small business 2003. I have 20 pcs in this net. Some pcs are running windows 7. One of them is trying to make a search in shared folder by Windows Explorer. This search is made by archive's name and by any...

Okay so, when I try to upload pictures from my library it says "no items match this search" I've tried it on both Chrome and Firefox and it doesn't work on both. I can see and bring up these pictures perfectly fine when I go to my picture library on my computer, but for some reason they won't...

I am attempting to do what I thought should be a simple Windows & function: to display the size of a folder just as it does individual file size. Surely this is possible in Windows 7??? I have searched for an answer to no avail.:( The folder size should be able to be displayed before it is...

This subject might have been dealt with many times in this forum. I did search for posts before this, but I didn't find actually what I was looking for as regards the windows search. I have Windows 7 Pro x64, I use a limited user (and another one with administrator privileges, obviously). When...

I just gotta post about this, because what a dumb thing to wreck the basic search functionality on computers we paid a lot of money for. Dedicated PC user for forever - yet - I am seriously thinking I have got to bite the bullet for a mac next time which ticks me off but this is ridiculous...

(I think) I accidently moved one folder into another. When I went into the folder to change it back, the folder did not contain the folder I thought I moved... So I did a global search of disk to locate to where it had been moved. Sure enough, the search (gratefully) found the folder I was...
