Vista search doesn't seem to work at all on my computer. Indexing Options
(from the Control Panel) says that 34,894 items are indexed and Indexing
Options lists Microsoft Office Outlook, Offline Files, and Start Menu and
Users in the Included Locations and the Exclude column shows "Default"
Opposite Users in the Included locations. If I go to Advanced in Indexing
Options and check various common file types like .doc and .xls they are
marked (the box is checked) for index file names and contents. However, if I
go to a folder that has a bunch of .xls file and type in the search box the
start of a file name that I can plainly see in the list of files in that
folder, the full list of files in that folder collapses to a list of one
extraneous file that isn't at all what I'm looking for. I have just re-built
the index and still have the sam problem. Needless to say search for file
content doesn't work either - since I can't even search for file names.
By the way, if I click on Start > Control Panel -- click on Programs --
under Programs and features -- click on “Turn Windows features on or off" --
the box next to “Indexing Service†is unchecked. That doesn't make sense to
me because the Indexing Options has indexed things, -but maybe I need to
check that box ?????
Any suggestions? Thanks.
