Windows Search problems

[Tymok]

When I type the name of some document into Windows Search it does not find anything. I have the whole disk indexed. The strange thing is that while windows is indexing (I tried to rebuild the index) it found everything but when it has finnished it does not find anything. (Sorry for my english :))

Thanks

This might be a shit answer, but I like to enable WSL (linux for windows) and use mlocate in bash to find stuff quickly.

To build an index you do "updatedb" than search with "mlocate -i *thing.stuff*"

 

Heres my favorite command to narrow things down (sed used to change the slashes make it look nice). This example finds all things ending with .iso and grep refines it for things with win in the name:

mlocate -i *.iso | sed 's~/mnt/~~g' | sed 's~/~\\~g' | sed 's~.~:\\~2' | grep -i "win"

 

The index might take some time, but its so much better than the frustrating slow windows search crap thing.
