Open the Control Panel (icon View) - Open Programs and Features.
Over top left click "Turn Windows Feaures on and off"
Scroll down to "Windows Search" and make sure it is ticked. Ok and come out of the Window(s)
Restart the computer.

Hi
Thanks for your help, I found the setting but it was checked on. Then I tried a search in my documents and it was not working. Any further suggestions?
