To gain access to the folders on your computer, try the following.
In the Search Companion, click on View -> Explorer bar and select Folders from
the menu. An alternative would be to click on the Folders icon on the Explorer
bar at the top of the Search window.

Getting back to your problem, see if the information in one of these articles
helps resolve the search issue.
