Search in windows explorer
Search in windows explorer does not work. Whatever I fill in in the box top right in the window, no search action takes place.
What to do?

nothing happens! Nothing is found
Search does not work in W-Explorer. It also does not work in the Start Search. The last can only find programs.
By chance have you been in Services and turned off Indexing? Have you turned off any Windows 7 Services?
I do not think so. How to check?
Turning "Windows Search" off doesn't cause searches to fail (on my PC).
I have it "Disabled" and I can still search.
The same thing was true on my previous W7 installation.
- Open the "Start Menu" and type "Services" in the Search box (no quotes).
- Choose "Services" from the results.
- Scroll down the list until you find "Windows Search" and check the "Status" and "Startup Type".

Glad it works for you now. My rule of the thumb is don't fool with Windows 7 Services. If you are happy please mark this thread Solved.
