• Windows XP - Windows Explorer search the files hyperlink text

  Navigation in the site of MS is rather hard to find where I have to post my question.  Please move it to the correct location. (Thank you)

  I have a directory with some 400 documents (Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) I want to search for "a word or a phase in the file" via Windows XP ' windows Explorer.

  Here's the question...

  The text I'm looking for is in a hyperlink (i.e. to search for "docushare' in my files, but there is a link that looks like THIS); the research within a file does not see the content of the link.

  My goal is to identify all documents in a directory that have a link to Docushare (for example).

  Thanks in advance.

• In the Windows Explorer search produces no results in Windows 7.0.

  When I open Windows Explorer in any folder and type the name of a file to search in the right corner it lists nothing, no matter what I put in the words.  In Vista, it would begin listing the files immediately I typed.  Strangely, lookups work if I type in the same search in the start menu.  I tried to turn on or turn off the search.  I also ran the program in troublehooting control menu and he said that there is nothing wrong with my computer.

  It's very frustrating.

  When searching for a folder, it searches only in this folder (and any folders below it).  The start menu search everywhere, all the time.

  Try 'Computer' or your C: drive and then research, and it should come with the same results as the start menu.

  PS It's Windows 7, but the version number is actually 6.1, not 7.0.  The 7 is just a name (and poorly designed, when it does not match the lol, version number).

  Hi bert02,.

  You have/display/editing of files showing etc.?  It is possible to lock the ones in place so possibly causing your problem.

  If you right-click anywhere on either of these menu options, you will see an option "Lock the toolbars" and uncheck the box to see if it will allow you to move this.

• Windows explore search in a text list

  To the right,.

  I have over 4000 jpg & png files in a single folder. and I have a text file that contains 300 names out of these 4000. I need a tool or a way that read the 300 names of this text file, search this specific folder and then show them to me. so I could copy and before them else where.

  If you are looking for those 300 names manually inputing each file name in the search box would take a lot of time.

  Please advice.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  I'm sorry to inform you that there is no option to search for these specific files together rather than searching one by one.

  Hope that answers your request and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

• Windows Explorer search feature does not work on a PDF file

  I've upgraded to WINDOWS 7 this month. As in the past I am still investigating several cases filled with PDF files for specific strings in the PDF file. The new feature of windows search is not finding files. I have all the indexed folders and have put the 'Options records' both 'in indexed locations... ". "and"always search file names... ". ». Niether option seems to work. I find that the search for a set of folers containing docx files work so I suspect something in the way the new alogrithm of WIN 7 search interacts with the type of PDF file: maybe something to with the recording of the PDF file to the operating system time?

  In this very basic problem any help is appreciated,

  Fitz

  I am also unable to search the contents of .pdf with Windows 7 files.  Check indexing according to the instructions of Ronnie above Options I have noted that, while the .pdf file has already been fixed for the indexing of content Description filter column shows "Registerd IFilter not found."  I did a bit of research and it seems that Adobe is including the iFilter in its Adobe Reader, but not for 64 bit systems which is what I am running.  A 64-bit filter is available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025, but I have not tried.

• I can't pin shortcuts to Documents, images, and the taskbar Control Panel. They go only in Windows Explorer?

  Clear since back with Win 98, I used the Quick Launch bar downstairs to give me quick access to my most used programs while keeping open the windows that I use, so I was happy to Win 7 as supposed that this would finally make a correctly recognized feature.  However, I find only programs can actually be pinned it.  I don't want these three things hiding inside Windows Explorer, what makes 2 clicks result instead of 1.  Am I missing something simple (which is possible)!  I can get the shortcuts on the desktop is there a way to then pin the taskbar shortcuts instead?

  Hi skyreburn,

  This is how the Windows 7 pin feature. Personally, I would like an option that allows you to pin folders separated rather than adding it under the Solution Explorer icon. You can accomplish what you want with a hack (sort of), pinning an executable, and by changing the way target the question later. For more information, see this article.

• Windows Desktop Search showing no results found in Windows 8.

  Original title: Windows 8 & Office 2013 will not get!

  Hello

  I booted up my PC in Windows 8, one day, and in Windows Explorer when I go looking for something in the Windows Explorer search bar does nothing. And when I use the charm of Windows 8 search it doesn't do anything either, I can search for Apps, but not the files. In OneNote when I go on my research notes it says "No. Results" even if there is a page called what I was looking for. Even when I am looking for emails in Outlook. I use Google Desktop right now, but it's hard.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• Win 7: Windows search no longer works from within Windows Explorer, big problem!

  Hi all, in the past I have been using Windows 7 search feature and I'm in love. She was very powerful. What I liked in particular has the ability to search to explore: [win key] + F, then you type in your search (as "ext:pdf date: 2010 wonderful" returned all the documents with the extension .pdf changed in 2010 or later and containing the keyword 'wonderful'). VERY another useful feature is the ability to search ANYWHERE on the computer, for example in the records, but also outlook. For example, when I wanted to recover all matters affecting a client (like "boeinggg + body" would mean any document or email on the problems of society and the fuselage of boeinggg;) ("from: condittt" would return all email sent by Mr. Condittt). UNFORTUNATELY, it doesn't work anymore, and I don't understand why. I searched on +-10 hours on various blogs and sites Web + myself, without success. I think I tried everything I could think of. Of course, among other things, I tried to look for a problem with automated tools of Windows, and I also rebuilt the index several times, move it to a different location, try indexing less files, etc etc etc. Research from outlook still works, but it's so slow and not practical to use at all (only the buttons, I prefer keywords). Research in the library always work also, that is to say if I'm in a certain folder and this folder is indexed, so I can search for documents inside as explained above. But my various indexed files are not all on the same tree, so in this way is really painful. I also tried only indexing outlook, he does something, the exact number of items is displayed as 'indexed' I can search and outlook. But still no Explorer - and that's what I want to do. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall search Windows (programs and features, enable or disable, windows searches the windows features). I also tried the 'old way' windows search (programs and features, enable or disable, the indexing service windows features). Of course, I have a valid Windows license file (Windows 7 Professional SP1), to date. My computer is a brand new, more stimulated for laptop Dell Precision (not reinstalled by myself so no Dell * on it). And... I'm repeating myself, but it did not work before! "One day" (I have not noticed exactly when) he has stopped working correctly, at the beginning, I thought that I could survive it but now I know that I really like this feature, I need. If anyone can help, I am really disappointed here. I can hardly re - install windows, because I still don't know the problem, so it would definitely be back. Otherwise, it would be 'just' a matter of 10 hours of work and I would do it, because I really, REALLY need this feature, which in my opinion is the only reason to use outlook today. I could also try the hotline of Dell, but I doubt that they will really help. Thank you very much in advance to the community, I will respond to all suggestions, I will follow all advises reasonable, and I understand what has happened and how to solve similar problems, I will explain in great detail. Bravo Stéphane

  Hello
  
  We are pleased that the issue is resolved.
  
  One of the reasons could be a software conflict. It could also be a malware or a virus.
  It could be linked to the corruption of the files of the user account as well.
  We know in the future if you have problems with Microsoft Windows.

• Right click on the search bar, if there is already text inside, will bring up search suggestions in the context menu.

  Hello m4lvolio, thank you for reporting this issue.
  However, it is a mainly managed by the community support forum, probably isn't the right place to report bugs (we are unable to implement all the features & devs read here).
  If you think this is a bug in the browser (and I can reproduce the issue certainly), please fill in a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org.

  I have this search browser "inbox" which blocked in windows Explorer. Any ideas on how to remove it?

  Hi Perry,

   
  1. What is the operating system installed on your computer recently?
  2. What do you mean by "I have this search browser"inbox"which blocked in windows Explorer?
   
   
  If you think that your computer contains viruses, you can search for viruses using the Microsoft Safety Scanner, and then check if it helps.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• Search tool crashes Windows Explorer when I stop the search

  My XP search tool (the one with the little dog) goes on and during the search, and if I found what I need I stop searching and getting back to work.  I could do in W2K, but in XP - SP3 when I stop the search, Windows Explorer crashes.  So, I have to restart my XP.  Y at - it a fix for this, or do I have to use another search tool?

  I have this problem on my own XP machines and have seen several times on client computers. I think it's one that Microsoft will have to work, because I can not find a solution.  It seems to be the installation of third party software that does this, because a stock installation of XP with all updates to this day doesn't seem to have this problem.

  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RESTART WINDOWS TO RECOVER FROM THIS.

  If Explorer crashes and your icons and the taskbar disappear, the solution is simply to wait for Explorer itself to begin again, or issue a ctrl-alt-delete, start Task Manager, click on file-> new task (run)-> and then enter "Explorer" (without the quotes) and click 'OK '. The icons and the taskbar will be back and XP will then operate normally.

  If some of the icons in the system tray are missing after Explorer restarts, you can quickly sign out and then sign back in to fix this problem, after you saved all work and close programs. The programs represented by missing icons are, in this case, which is still running, so it's only a cosmetic problem.

  Until Microsoft or someone else found a real solution, you may need to reinstall XP to resolve this problem. Not knowing the real cause, this problem could happen again. Not all facilities have this problem, or is it all the time.

• Search feature in Windows Explorer does not

  When I open Windows Explorer, I see all my files and documents but I lost my search function.  (I'm on Windows XP Pro version 5.1 Service Pack 3)
  When I click on the search button or select a file, right click and click search, or go to start and click on search, I come with a white screen of the browser.  Do not even get the search option.
