Search does not find text in I know there in the files.

Search for Windows 7 is so bad that I have to use another tool to find the files I want.  I tried to change the indexing options "changing how windows search" to add other extensions but it still can't find them.

I'll try to find some text in these types of files
. JSF
. JSFF
. JSPX
. BPEL
.bin
.exe

How can I force windows to search for all types of files regardless of their extension, even if the directory is not indexed.  I currently have to use a utility called A43 file management and it works very well and can find the files in less time that windows search and can't find them.

Hello

When you add extensions (in Indexing Options > Advanced button > File Types tab), be sure to click the option at the bottom for "properties of the index and content of the folder.
Then Folder Options in the Search tab, click "always search file names and contents" (the 2nd option down).  This will force to search in the content even if the folder is not indexed.  So in sites indexed, it will be instant, but in places not indexed, it will look like XP did.
ATTENTION: Many people make this mistake.  do not add all of your computer to your index, thinking it will make each quick search: it will simply blow the database. Not everything can be important.  Think of it like this: If your boss has sent every email as "priority", by definition, it would be useless.

  • Windows 7: the search does not find the files that should be, directory is indexed and *.php included on the list of extensions

    Windows 7: search does not find the files that should be. I have indexed directory and *.php included on the list of extensions, but search can't find files for Word searches that I know there are files with these words in them.

    If you're frustrated by research (aka Desktop Search), you are not alone. Click the Start button and type find and click the button 'change the way Windows search'. Now click on the Advanced button and select the tab file types scroll down and find your type of file (in your case .php) and make sure the radio button "index properties and the content of the file" is selected for the file type.

    Out the form by clicking on the OK button, but do not close the form when you click the Advanced button.

    Then, you may need to change the indexing locations. If the folder where your files are located is not known for indexing search, then search is not even bother looking for here (a source of frustration for many users). Maybe your files are located on another drive or partition without the knowledge of the indexing engine. Using the options icon and select/deselect expand, make sure that at least the files of interest are included for the indexed locations. I hope this helps.

  • bluetooth Windows search does not find my sd10 headset motorola

    Recently bought this Motorola SD10 HD bluetooth headset to listen to internet radio on my laptop Dell Latitude E6410.   The headset pairs easily with my HTC Droid phone, but I'm unable to pair it with my laptop.    The search function of Windows bluetooth device does not have the helmet, there is no possibility to try same pair.   Motorola phone supports the claims, it is a problem of Windows since the pair of headphones with my cell phone.

    BTW I also use a mouse bluetooth with the laptop and sometimes it loses the pairing and the only way to (re) pair is to remove the device and the device to be added again.   So I think it's a problem of bluetooth of Windows.

    Thanks in advance for your help-Frank

    Hi Frank,.

    Method 1:

    You can check with the support of Motorola and check if there is for the windows you use any headphone driver and software. If so, the same install and check if it helps.

  • 'Open with' pop up at startup and during the session asking what file to open CHKUPD with. CHKUPD has no extension. Search does not find it.

    My problem is similar to the question asked by EamonnO.  Start a 'open with' screen opens asking what file to open chkupd with.  I think that hit "Cancel" would put an end to the action.  He appears periodically during my session on the computer or watching a movie.  I don't find the file using search.  I don't think that this means Daemon Tools because I never downloaded the program.  Some recent downloads include "Free File Viewer" and "Search for free Extension".  I have Vipre AV and System Mechanic running on my computer.  The situation may be harmless, but it is sure agrivating.  Thanks for any help you offer.  George

    Hello

    I had the same problem and there to remedy I just open the control panel and open then "Add / Remove programs.  The popup is apparently caused by a free File Viewer program.  I removed the program by clicking on the button Delete and the problem disappeared.  The free file viewer comes with a conversion program free .mp3 and seems to be completely unnecessary (I never needed the viewer of the file and open it with popup that was originally was boring and sometimes even nervewracking.)  If you do not have to uninstall programs of assistance, just the viewer of the file that comes as a free supplement program (problem).

    Once again, removal procedure: click on 'start '.
    Click on "Control Panel."
    Double click on "Add or remove programs".
    Click on "Free File Viewer" in the list of programs
    Click 'delete '.

    After this, the 'chkupd' open with popup when it stops appearing.

  • There is a folder called AppData "Virtualized" battery under A search does not find it.

    I have been using a PDF application for a couple of years. My operating system is Vista Home Premium and up to date. Recently, with the introduction of the order of things ' homelessness, the app PDF (NitroPDF) began recording file I have print from a Web site in the following stack?

    Bob

    AppData

    Local

    Microsoft

    Windows

    Temporary Internet files

    Virtualized

    C

    Users

    Bob

    Documents

    PDF documents

    I followed this chain, and when I get to the temporary Internet files, there is no record more in the list.  I did a search for the file "Virtualized" but can't find it.  All files, including hidden files, are sought.  Yet, when I see the final chain folder, whenever I use the PDF app, the previous files are still displayed, so they must be saved on my computer.

    I learned to check the "recorded in ' location whenever I use the app, so now the print fill is saved in the correct folder of PDF Documents under Bob > Documents > Documents PDF.  But there are still a few old documents in this chain of "Virtualizes" that I can't access.

    Can you help me find them?

    Hello

    ·          Will there be other documents in one virtual folder other than those of NitroPDF?

    This could be a case where the application itself started virtualizing documents, rather than save them on his computer.

    I suggest you to send your requests in Nitro community support Centre.

    Hi Ickido,

    You have the disc to install Windows with you?

    If you do not have the Windows XP installation disk, I recommend you to make arrangements for a disc that is the same edition as it is installed on your machine.

    Subsequently, try performing a manual system restore by following this link.

  • Virtual machine does not start after restoring from Time Machine to the new Imac

    I got my IMac replaced by Apple, after that they could not fix the old one.  They did a full restore from a Time Machine backup.  The virtual machine does not open now.   When I navigate to the file to try to open the virtual machine at the VMware logo in the bottom right of the icon displayed with large yellow exclamation appears on the icon?  Anyone encountered this problem before.  I'll take the Imac in Saturday if I can not solve.  The machine has the same size as before.  There are a few aspects of sharing with the Mac application miss me?

    According to the MacVirt.vmdk folder, you have the right number of segments of shared disk so you should be able to create a new VM by pointing to the disc in the new VM Wizard by pointing to the MacVirt.vmdk file.

    Note: After you create the new Virtual Machine, I would not suggest the Virtual Machine to stop, pause and close merge and then move all *.vmdk files in the package of the virtual machine, and then manually change the computer configuration files virtual .vmx and change the path to a little to view the MacVirt.vmdk file.  In this way, everything is in one package and is easier to maintain.

    using the function search is not finding the words I know are in my document. Why?

    The fact that you see a Word does not mean that it is 'real' text. You can select the word? If so, copy and paste in another application (such as Notepad). He always look the same? If the answer to each question is, you also cannot find it by using a search.

    Research couldn't perform because HR not create JavaHelpSearch files on my system. I have not found the reason why, but I solved the problem by a work around with a batch file that is bound to the jhindexer. After generating all help I create JavaHelpSearch files using this batch file.

  • Windows search can not find my files

    Even if I indexed all folders on my computer Windows Search can not find something of my music, my pictures, and my videos folders. I checked if they are indexed and they are. I tried rebuilding the index, but it did not help. Does anyone know what may be the problem?

    Problem solved. One of my programs has changed the use of the search bar for "do not search" menu properties taskbar and start, I have no idea why.

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    I struggled with the same problem for a few hours. Finally, I discovered that:

    If you are looking for a word in a file name, then you must start the search string with an asterisk (wildcard character), in the opposite case, Windows will detect nothing. For example, if you are looking for "cyberdyne" in a file name, then you must look for the two "cyberdyne" and "* cyberdyne.

    If the word you are looking for is at the beginning of the name of the file, or if it is preceded by a dash or a dot, then Windows Explorer is the file without the asterisk.

Maybe you are looking for
