Start > Windows doesn't search for files in other harddrives

[Leimone]

When I search for programs on the search function when you hit the windows button it only searches for files found on the same harddrive I installed Windows on (C: SSD 120GB).
I have all my other files, pictures games movies etc on my E and F harddrive.
However when I search for the names on the search bar nothing pops up, can I fix this somehow?

I prefer Option Two starting at Step #2. This way you can easily select what drive you search.


The Start search bar you are trying to use only searches the installed OS drive as you have found out.

Hope that helps.

I mean at the Step One, it's that search function I want to be able to search through multiple hardrives and the guide you linked me doesn't show how to do that.

That can't be correct, as it worked just fine(I could use the search function to search for other harddrive files) before I reinstalled windows on my main harddrive.

As far as I know Start search bar only searches the OS drive.

Try adding the drives to the Index for searching.
