windows explorer search takes ages and finds recent file at tail end
Hi, I create a file and save it in a folder called 22may posts, I then browse to it, cant find it, where the heck did I save it to, definitely D drive, my data drive.
Open windows explorer, select d drive, enter *22may* and its already searching before I even get to indicate date modified range.
I have to stop the search, as it usually says nothing found when I know its there.
select D again, select the *22may* from what is in the drop down search window, and off it goes again searching,
wait a few mins whilst the grey bar progresses, it rarely turns up anything for the best part of 90% of the progress, files and folders are found when there is 5mm to go !
Why cant it find files and folders during the entire search, what the heck is it doing for 80% or more of that search ?
This is a guaranteed performance again and again, Msoft have totally messed up what used to work fine.
It wouldnt start searching until one told it to start, allowing for entry of criteria.
All this stuff now about earlier this week, silly options.
win98 was never like that, ditto xp.
What is the fix ?
