Windows Search yielding No Results after changing Users Location
Hello there.
I wanted to have my documents, music, pictures and all my personal stuff in a different partition, other than the system core partition (e.g. C:/), so I followed a tutorial on this site to achieve that.
I was happy with the results until some day I noticed that when using the top right search bar on windows explorer it would yield no results at all even though the files were there. I didn't work for any kind of file nor for folders. However, the search function always worked normally on the system partition (C:/)
I created another administrator user account and the same thing happened. Search function within user folders wasn't yielding results, except for the C:/ partition, where it worked normally.
I concluded the search function doesn't work if the user accounts are stored on a different partition, other than the C:/ (Local disk)
I used the indexing and search troubleshooter but it didn't find any problem, therefore it didn't solve anything.
I restarted the windows search service... didn't help.
I set it to Automatic... didn't help either.
I rebuilt the index for the Users folder in the partition... nothing.
I deleted and recreated the libraries... nothing.
I re-indexed them... still nothing.
Now I don't know what to do next and that's why I joined this forum (with the hope of finding an answer)
Please help me! Any help will be welcome!
