My search function does not work in Windows 7 / MS Office 2010 more.

I have W7 and MS Office 2010.  My search function has stopped working in Outlook first and then in Solution Explorer.  The only research that works within a Word or Excel document.  Explorer and Outlook is not even 'Act' as it is to the search or the other!  How can I fix it?  I prefer not to make W7 & 2010 uninstalling and reinstalling?  Please help :)

Hi Susan,.

Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

1. what security software is installed?

2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

Let us try these methods.

Method 1.

Start the computer in safe mode and run a full scan of computer viruses.

Advanced startup options (including safe mode): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

Run a full scan of the computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

Method 2.

You can run this fixit and check if that helps.

Fix Windows Search when it crashes or shows no results: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_search

Open the search and indexing Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Search-and-Indexing-troubleshooter

Additional information.

Method 3.

I suggest that you can exercise SFC scan and check if that helps. The SFC/SCANNOW command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

For more information how to make SFC / scan scan under Windows Vista and Windows 7, please follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Hello

    It is Aero Snap.  When you select a window how you "cutting" it in position?  You do not use the window key and the arrow left/right or are you drag / drop window?  If you drag / drop, using the keyboard shortcuts help to solve the problem?

  • Search function does not work in a document, all the ideas of solution?

    Nice day

    I use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2015 Release Version 2015.008.20082 l. Within the program I asked for updates, and he says that it is current.

    The "Search/search" function does not work even when I clearly see the word I'm looking. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Meredith

    Hi Meredith,

    Please confirm if you are using Acrobat or Reader?

    Search function will not work if it is a pdf document scanned in image format, you must apply OCR on this file by using Acrobat to be able to search for text in the document.

    Kind regards

  • Why the App Store search function does not work?

    Since the iOS most recent update (9.3.2), the app from the App Store does not work on my iPhone-iTunes app works perfectly, the App Store - space wasted on the screen and memory right now. I tried to disconnect, close the software, restart hard to my phone, but all I get when I try to search is a white screen. I can't even comment to apple in the app because it does not work. It was a time where this kind of thing never happened but the versions of software with major bugs is becoming more of a recurring theme lately. I'm really starting to wonder if Apple jumps right away even the most basic of pre-tests prior to publication just to get out a release. Frustrating to say the least.

    The search function on the App store on my phone work if something is wrong with your system. Try to reset the App Store in the following order:

    Close the App Store completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the App Store preview pane until it disappears from the display. Then sign out of the iTunes Store (in the settings).

    Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Then reconnect to the iTunes Store.

    Probably this will seem like a strange solution, but try to press the search key at the bottom of the App Store search 10 times screen. I read that it helped a lot of people.

  • Windows 7 in the Explorer search function does not work

    (1) I inserted a library to a project. This library is simply refers to a path on my hard drive

    (2) since I can't search for files or folders in the linrary (in the library itself or normal
    Explorer
    path). There is always a 0 result

    (3) in this 'library', I have subfolders. If I move a subfolder in another location on the hard drive, the research works

    (4) is there a solution to this problem in the meantime (I know that other users have the same problem)

    (5) if I use a shareware-Explorer, the research works
    But I'm on windows 7 (windows 7 ultimate), so this 'simple' search feature is a
    WORK MUST!

    (6) I think that its all about the library feature that really works, then, how can I get rid of the wihout library
    erase the existing roads on the hard drive? Is there an official statement for this?

    Hi Peter,.

    Search in the new library or outside it should work perfectly well as in others.

    Try the following steps to understand what could cause this problem.

    Step 1: Run Troubleshooter

    For your reference:

    Open the troubleshooter for search and indexing

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-search-and-indexing-Troubleshooter

    Step 2: Create a new library

    Create a new library and include less fine test files. Now, look for a file in this folder. See if it works.

    In case you need to reference:

     

    Create a new library

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-new-library

    Step 3: Verify mode safe

    For more detailed investigation have a look if the result of the research work in safe mode. Post the return result so that we can help you with the same.

  • Search function does not work in Adobe Digital Editions

    Hi all

    First of all, I use a PC and I am creating a 'fixed provision' epub using Adobe InDesign. I have included pictures and buttons to navigate through the book, and everything works fine, until I try to use search in Adobe Digital Editions. The search function works fine in ibooks, then I tried to open it in any other ebook readers, which has blurred my text and images, this Adobe Digital Editions software did not. For this reason, I want to stay with using Adobe Digital Editions. All text is online, so I know this isn't the problem. I tried to save the file as a "Reflowable" epub, even though I know that this will not work for me, just to see if the search function would work, and he did. So my question is, why can I not use the search feature of Adobe Digital Edition with a provision fixed epub, and is it possible that I can fix it?

    Thank you!

    Kelsey

    If anyone wonders, I found a solution to this problem, but also problems with fonts does display correctly in the Adobe Digital Editions software.

    CircularFlo

    Basically, you download the trial and it works with InDesign. It will also allow you to make a Kindle Edition, which is excellent. Basically you pay $99 for every epub to create it is less than 50 pages, and $199 you will get an epub with an unlimited number of pages. It also adds a lot of great animation features. I think it works well, and I hope this helps someone!

  • Search function does not work correctly (it does not mark the words found, instead, he built a light blue frame); When you open the PDF with Foxit, the search function works.

    Hello

    I use a PC (not a MAC). The document that I have a problem with emerged on a Word Document. I opened it using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

    When I tried to search for a Word, it worked. He scored the first word matching my search. As I pressed Enter to get results, he built a clear blue frame around large parts of the text presenting the result somewhere in the framework:

    Suchfunktion_Adobe.png

    When more pressing enter, the frame moves to the right or expands, but no other match is found. I tried to open the same file with Foxit pdf and here the function works correctly (marking all the matches one by one).

    Unfortunately, I can't tell all my customers to use Foxit. They all use Adobe and are complained about the search function.

    The size of the document is 9,32 MB and contains 324 pages.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Yours,

    Ula

    Hi Sarah,.

    We've fixed the problem. Where a person has the same question:

    When you create a pdf file in Word (by "save under" and select 'PDF (*.pdf)' as the type of document)), you can click on the 'Options' button... "When you want to have a tree structure of your pdf file.

    In the 'Options' dialog box, select "Create bookmarks to help: ' (I so always use 'Headings') and UNCHECK"Document structure for accessibility tags '.

    Then you will have problems with the whitin your structured pdf search function.

    It's a problem with Word.

    Thanks for your time!

  • search function does not work anymor. When I press control f the menu dreamweaver is gray... How can I fix?

    so far, I have not had any problems using search (command-f). But all of a sudden the box doesn't seem anymore and the menu dreamweaver is grey.

    How can I fix? Should I reinstall dreamweaver? I have dreamweaver cc.

    Hello Nancy

    Thank you for responding.

    I didn't know that. I remember well the manual does not mention that.

    But anyway, I installed the new version of dreamweaver cc 2014.

    Seems to work again.

    The old version is apparently no longer available.

    All the best.

  • The web search function does not work on FF15.0

    Just took the 15.0 update. I can't enter in the search field

    Yes, this is the search bar.

    There was a change to the search bar in 15.0, the 'name' of the search engine is not clear until you type the first character, the cursor blinks behind the G in Google.

    Another Firefox 15.0 user reported a problem with the theme they were using. Try the default theme and see if the problem goes away.

  • The timeline of Google search function does not work in Firefox but not in IE

    I use Google for searches. After receiving the search results there are additional options along the left sidebar. "Timeline" function takes the results of the search and sort them in chronological order and displays the results on a timeline. This feature is used to work well in Firefox. Now after receipt of search results when I press the option "Timeline" Google tells me that my search "did not match any documents."

    I assumed the problem was with Google but when I finally tested in Internet Explorer, I discovered that the function of the chronology has worked well. The exact URL in Internet Explorer properly displays the results of the timeline sorted but when stuck in Firefox it produces no result.

    Please explain what could be the cause or I might have to switch browsers that I wouldn't do. Thank you.

    Here is year example of a Google Timeline search request that produces no. matching documents: "http://www.google.com/search?source=ig & hl = in & rlz = 1G1GGLQ_ENUS287 & = & q = mozilla + firefox + reviews & btnG = Google + Search & aq = f & oq = #q = mozilla + firefox + reviews & hl = in & tbo = 1 & rlz = 1G1GGLQ_ENUS287 & output = search & source = lnt & tbs = tl:1 & a = X & ei = W20_Tf_2OoragAeJ0LG8Aw & ved = 0CA8QpwUoBA & fp = d99ec83a3d63f24"

  • Search/Search function does not work

    I can download Google search of books in PDF format, but can not search the text.  I don't have this problem with Google Book Search.

    To make this searchable PDF files, you must run through the text recognition (OCR), which can be made with programs such as Adobe Acrobat.
