Have to keep rebuilding my indexing - Search stops working
In my work I have to pull up previous Word files to access information, amend the file, etc.
To do this, I go to the Start button and type in the file name. It then pulls up my document list and I can select the document I need. Lately, about once every couple of weeks when I do this, the search comes up blank, showing no files.
I then have to rebuild the index by typing "Search" in the start menu box. I select "Change How Windows Searches" and then "Indexing Options", then "Advanced" button. From there I click on "Rebuild". After I go through that process, it all works fine for a couple of weeks, and then the Search stops working again.
Could this be caused by my Bitdefender which scans every morning? If it was that, I would think it would mess up the search function every day.
How can I discover what's causing this, and hopefully prevent it in the future?
