    search is not showing the files i searched.


    i was looking for a picture so i searched for it using Start > Search programs and files but it didn't return the file i was looking for so i tried looking for other things but still no results were found apparently only programs and OS stuff has results. i tried rebuilding the indexes and i tried not using indexes, but nothing changed. by the way, the search box next to the address bar is working.

    oh problem fixed. it turns out that the 'search other files and libraries' option was set to don't search.
