Continue reading. Windows 7 can, in fact, search unindexed folders and drives. It just takes a couple of more clicks, that's all. As a matter of fact, Windows 7 is capable of searching your entire system, including all connected drives, external drives, network drives, flash drives etc. If you do a search for a file and get 0 results, look at the bottom of the results window and you'll see a link called "See More Results". This will open a window in which Windows is asking you to now search for your file outside of the index. Clicking on "computer" will find your file.
