Search for Windows 7 does not

I have problems with my Windows Explorer search bar.   When I type in the name of a file that I can see is in the current folder, the search returns 'no items don't match your search.  This problem occurs when I search in all of my libraries except for the images folder, and I don't know why.  I tried re-indexing and attempted a search in the section of indexation of the troubleshooting Control Panel, but have not yet managed to solve this problem.  I looked through many forums and have not yet found solution to my problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

  • Search for Time Machine does not work in the mail.

    Hello

    I'm trying to retrieve/view old e-mail my Time Machine ups back. I am backup on an external hard drive.

    When I get TM since the Mail, search application 'in time' does not work. If I go TM said Finder, or from the desktop, it works fine.

    I had to reinstall my OS and am trying to update on El Capitan, (thanks to the kind assistance of AppleCare!), but in the meantime I am eager to find those old emails.

    Any suggestions please? Thank you.

    Although you can restore a snapshot of Time Machine messages in the Mail application, it usually will not work with messages that were saved by an outdated version of the mail. In this case, you must use another method.

    Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    ~/Library/Mail

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ Open

    the contextual menu.* should open a folder.

    Enter Time Machine and scroll to the snapshot that you want to restore from. The folder named "Mail" are subfolders named "V2" and/or "V3" (according to the version of Mac OS X that was used at the time that the snapshot was taken.) Inside of one of these subfolders are several subfolders representing your e-mail accounts. The name refers to the email addresses that you use. Select the account folders you want and then select restore... to... in the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the Snapshot window. Restore the files on the desktop and not in their original location.

    Import the mailbox in the folders that you restored to the office. The imported messages appear in a new mailbox. Move those you want to keep everywhere where you want and delete the rest. Then, delete the files on the desktop.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • Search for Windows 7, why not if give me the files that are not yet in my augument search?

    Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OS.

    Have a lot of files are duplicated.

    In Windows 7 lets say the files in the folder have files that look like:

    Bill 120.le rar
    Bill 121, rar
    Bill 1 .rar

    and we want to remove duplicates with '(1) '.
    and we enter research * (*)

    Under XP it would only list the file: Bill 1 .rar IF you entered *(*.)  or *) * or (1), etc.

    Bill 1 .rar

    In Windows 7, since I started to use Win 7 years, everything I do is get frustrited when it will sometimes give me what I ask for the Bill 1 .rar.
    but most of the time like now, will give me ALL the files WITH and WITHOUT the "()".

    Bill 120.le rar
    Bill 121, rar
    Bill 1 .rar

    WHY?  and how can he give me what I asked?

    (I tried ALL the settings and they all do the same thing)

    Enter in the search box:

    name: ~ = "{}"

    The ~ = indicates to Windows 7 search to look anywhere in the name.  Usually, the quotes would not be needed, but( ) has a functional use of search for Windows 7, and the quotes tell Windows 7 search just deal with ( ) as a chararacter.  I tried to find a way to search for a (?), after? as a wildcard but couldn't.  [Update: solution concludes, at the end of the post]  However, you can enter this to search for files named with the two ( and ), but not necessarily appearing in the (#) form.

    nom : ~ = "(" nom : ~ = "")" »

    or more compactly,

    nom : (~ = "(" ~ = "")" »)

    Update: more than a month later, I realized the more compactly.  Subsequently, the? is interpreted as a wildcard character.  If more digits is possible, then additional search with? exactly two for? for exactly three and so on.

    Name: ~ "* (?) *"

    If filename: is used instead, then the tilde is redundant:

    filename: "* (?)" *"

    I know that people have had this problem before, I have tried the solutions found on this site still does not.

    I have Windows 7, 64-bit on my laptop. I think it's because I rarely use the laptop this problem started, since my office that I use every day is not. Anyway,.

    Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB3150220)

    before this date the last complete successful update was May 4, 2016.

    I tried to update later in July and that's when he stopped completely. Hangs up on 'check updates' or 'download to 0%.

    This evening I installed update security for Windows (KB3153199) because it was the only person that I don't seem to have when I checked for solutions to installation in the other threads.

    I put my "never search for updates' advance and restarted. He is always hung up.

    Is there a solution for this nonsense?

  • I uninstalled and reinstalled and Firefox for windows 7 does not open. There is no error message - it just does not, even in safe mode. What should I do?

    My computer is set to the automatic update in Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I am also running Norton 360. There was a major update for the office on 10-12-14, which seems to be at the start of my problems. This month, whenever my updates caused a restart, Mozilla has failed to open. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, and it lasted only a day or two before it crashes again. This last time it is still not open. All instructions to solve problems appear to be based on the idea that the program is open and just questions. I can't even open it in Mode without failure.

    I tried to reinstall, and it says it will launch automatically when the installation is complete, but it does not work. As Norton scan every download before it works, I am not sure if this is the problem since I never get the window that indicates the setup step by step for Firefox.

    What should I do?

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. A clean reinstall is not the same as a regular resettlement performed using built-in installer. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

    Please report to say if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • Halo 2 for Windows Vista does not work on windows 7 32-bit computer

    Recently I have windows 7 installed on my computer and I installed Halo 2 for Windows Vista on this subject. I start the game, but before that I get a lot, it stops and I get a box that says Halo 2 has stopped playing for some reason any. He is looking for a solution and comes up saying that it does not find a waiting for Microsoft to find a. It happens the same thing every time.

    It seems that everything I needed an update. I went and did the updates and then began the game as administrator and it works fine now. I appreciate the help, though, and I don't know that your tips will help someone else as well. Thank you.  PS My game doesn't have the compatibility mode on it. Everything else is good. What is happening with this?

  • Gadgets for Windows Sidebar does not display correctly

    Hello
    I just installed a new antivirus-Sophos which automatically uninstalled my previous installation of McAfee that came with my Dell laptop.
    Am running Vista SP2 32 bit, Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM, @2 GHz T6400.
    After installing antivirus and subsequent reboot, my sidebar is displayed and so do the gadgets, but they are all "corrupt" and not displaying correctly. For example, the clock is dark, and change the opacity does not allow me to see the time. Calendar, notes, and UC only appear as a vertical white line. None of them appears correctly.

  • Games for Windows Live does not open

    Hello. I had the Client Games for Windows LIVE and the market installed on my PC for some time now (several years). I played many games, such as Halo 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, Batman: Arkham City, etc., which require this piece of shit software. However, recently, I've been making mistakes where I can't run Arkham City in what appears to be an error related to the GFWL client. Of course, when I tried to open market Games for Windows LIVE, I see the splash screen, but after a few seconds it disappears and the program does not start. I tried to reinstall both on the market and the client, each instance of the .NET Framework and Bing Bar, but also reset Internet Explorer and run CCleaner registry cleaning, all to nothing is helping. I paid for all of these games and I'm not going to sit idly by because of a strange problem with a piece - of-* DRM software. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I thought it would be more simple, but apparently, these errors can be caused by multiple scenarios
    Also, you can check your crash logs in %localappdata%\Microsoft\GFWLive\ I think to see if they show you something different from the error you get
