Windows 7 - window search not working

as per above.

even after i enable all those option but still i cant find anything. i try rebuilding my index but is took 4 hrs and the number of indexed file remain 0. also in the search box no matter what is type, there would not be a "searching" as it should be.anyone know what happen and how to resolve it?

Welcome to the forums, are you sure that the service is turned on?

ya.if it is not turn on, there wont be a search box there

Us this tutorial and see if the service is running: Services - Start or Disable

all those service and the related one are all started

Questions that occur:

1) How long has this been happening? If not long, and you have restore points predating the issue, have you tried a System Restore?

2) Does Search work in other user accounts?

3) Are you getting any error message when trying to search (i.e., 'Internet Security settings prevented...')?

4) Have you changed permissions on your system?

5) Do specified locations to index appear in Control Panel/Indexing Options?


Check this recent thread where some viable solutions have worked:

4)no permission were change at all

5)i try index but after many hrs, "0 item were indexed" were display

shashimi,

Have you attempted to move your indexing directory location, or is it in the default location (as in screenshot)?:



If the index is in the default location, try the steps posted here:

Indexing failure

You will need to have hidden files showing:
Hidden Files and Folders - Show or Hide

You will also need to be logged in as an admin (if you're not already).

If you have attempted to move your indexing folder, try setting it to the default location.

Restart your machine in both cases, then check to see if the index is running (and actually indexing your files).

Post back to let us know.

i try the above method but still no luck.so i try SFC and this is the result
