windows 7 search, libraries not showing up
Hi guys, first post here.
I just got windows 7 and am loving it, its like getting a new computer. One aspect I really loved was the speed of the search function. However I must have changed something as when I search now none of the results from the Documents Library are showing up, even when you click See more results>Libraries, and even when you navigate to the folder and type in the top right hand search box. The Pictures Library results are showing up but only when you click See more results. I just noticed the same thing with the Downloads folder, where I have a folder named Black Lagoon and I type in Black in the top right hand search box and the only results I get are where the word Black is mentioned in some pdfs. I've read most of the tutorials here on indexing and have rebuilt the index a few times trying to fix the problem without success Any help? |

Windows 7 Libraries not showing up Hi The Libraries folder exists, but there is nothing in there. No Documents, no music--nothing. Right clicking and choosing "restore default libraries" has no effect--not even an error message. Any ideas? I've seen this topic pop up in many different forums, and the recommended fix... |

Can't search within Libraries' folders I haven't been very lucky with Libraries. First case was a few months ago when IE8 couldn't find items within folders in Libraries. Now, I can't really search within any folder in Libraries -- not in Documents, Videos, Music, etc. I can search from within Favorites, in any folder. Is this... |
