• Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search

  Original title: Windows search returns no results, but only for a single user - another user works very well - Windows 7

  All of a sudden windows search of files and folders (from windows Explorer) do not return results - even if I'm looking for in a folder with a file name that I know is in there.  However, it works for the other user on this system.

  The things that I tried or looked at who did not work:

  • Configuration of the default folder options.
  • reconstruction of the index
  • sfc/scannow - said "windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them.  I have the CBS. If necessary log file.
  • research done that windows has been archived 'Tour of the windows features turn on or off.
  • Ran the registry of Windows Search - he said that he fixed two things (cannot tell you what they were now), but still, it does not solve the problem. When I run it says once again that there are no errors.
  • I checked this registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\ and key Start_SearchFiles - which was set to 2, the default
  • Under Customize Start Menu - search with public folders is selected under search for other files and libraries.

  It still does not work.  The search box in the start menu seems to work, but not for anything I get.

  Frustrated!

• Scan to searchable PDF and search using Windows Search

  I use a HP Officejet Pro 8600 and try to create PDF files which is using Windows Search, i.e. display the directory tree and type a search term in the search box.

  I tried to use the HPScan software to create a "Searchable PDF." type analysis  I also tried to create "editable text (OCR)" scan using both the HPScan software and directly from the printer.  I was able to select and copy text in all documents resulting (PDF and RTF) and I've seaerch for text in the document when the document is opened.  BUT what I need to be able to do is to find a document scanned on my computer looking into the content of the document itself (and not by the search for metadata or tags).

  I checked to make sure that Windows Search is to search with the CONTENTS of the statement (he finds all Word documents...).  Is there something special I need to do in the software of HP on the printer itself ther to get this working?  Thanks in advance for your help.

  (P.S.  I use Windows 7, 64-bit if it matters.)

  I'm afraid that what you are wanting to do is not possible. There is a limitation in how Windows interacts with the PDF file format. It cannot index files as it can for a Word document. You will need to scan the documents in PDF format, and then convert them to Word document, so you can search for the best.

• How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions?

  How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions? Plain txt files say 1,000 with random name of file extensions?

  You can always search within those, but you need to add extensions to the file system so that it knows to look inside these files.  You said that you have a lot, so it's perhaps tedious.  Here's How to search within several types of files.

  One thing you could try is rather to make a copy of this file, rename all the files to the same extension (even an extension false for example something.bill) and perform your search on this band.  Just an idea.

• When you use Windows Search error SearchFilterHost.exe - Application error

  When you are using Windows XP (SP3) running Windows Search (4.0), I get the error message:

  SearchFilterHost.exe - Application error

  The instruction at "0x0af609c" referenced memory at "0 x 00000014. The memory could not be "read".

  Click OK to terminate the program

  I do nothing especially when this happens and the disabling or uninstalling this feature is not an option that I and some of the programs that I use it. She repeats every few minutes, but I'm pretty sure it's because the application restarts whenever you "Finish". I also tried to reinstall it but to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help.

  These errors appear when the index database is corrupted, for example during the crash, etc. The solution is, except disabling or removing the search service, reconstruction of the index. Just reinstall will not solve the problem, because that does not remove the corrupted index.

  On XP Pro:

  (1) start 'services.msc' and find Windows Search stop.

  My personal advice: check user accounts all records and make sure that the "Application Data" and "Local Settings" directories have their attribute 'Index summary' unchecked, including all files and subfolders. You can avoid many possible future performance issues.

  2) go to c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft and delete the entire directory "Search" (or just rename / move elsewhere).

  (3) close the session log. Index will rebuild, it may take some time, depending on the amount of documents, music, etc. you have. So be patient with harddisk increased temporary activity. Normally it works with a low priority.

  On Vista/7 Search index is located in \ProgramData\Microsoft, otherwise,'s done it the same way. Unfortunately, I do not know how to avoid the real alteration. XP seems more inclined to him.

  Hi David,

  Install and activate the original operating system provided with the computer first (I guess it's XP).

  Update to upgrade to Vista, then use the Vista product key that you used at the time to update (because it works now as you WILL upgrade and do not try to install only a facility full after an installed clean).

  Good luck!

• Windows 7 will be not updated after clean install

  I recently acquired a Vista laptop that I improved with a SSD and Windows 7 Professional.  After installation without incident on a new SSD and activation, I discovered that Win7 does not refresh the console update continues just search for updates and the CPU activity revolves around 50%.  I've linked several fixes on this site and others with no luck.

  I'm not a PC expert, but I (FINALLY) know what caused this problem and how to solve it!  , But first of all note that this is the solution for my WINDOWS 7 64-bit Home Premium just after a clean installation.  I don't know if this plan works for 32-bit systems or other 7s to win, but novel with minor changes and some research...?

  The part of Windows 7 that search updates would normally take 24 to 48 hours to complete his research.  You can tell that you have this problem, while you are waiting for the update search by CTRL-ALT-DEL, start the Task Manager, then watch TAB PROCESS, then click: show processes from all users.  Look down the list until you find a SVCHOST. EXE running by the SYSTEM which uses 50% or more of CPU and a large piece (73%) of memory.  Then, go to the window Windows Update of the control panel and it say to never look updates.  Then return to the Task Manager and KILL the big 50% fat process that you just found.

  MS produced a patch (patches of 2 k) that you can't normally without an update.  There is a way to download these files from 2 k, but then...

  You cannot install them normally without using WUSA (the stand-alone installation of Windows Update program).  And if you try to use it to install the patches, WUSA must begin a new search for 48 hours for updates before installing anything.  It is a circular trap!

  Look for these two files in your DOWNLOADS folder.  Copy them to your DESKTOP.

  Now to install them, you must use the stand-alone Installer, WUSA, BUT you must FORCE IT to do quite simply without looking for always.  Here's how:

  First of all, copy the following line exactly and completely:

  'C:\Users\Edmund\Desktop\windows6.1-kb3102810-x64.msu' /wuforce

  Click the start planet;

  Click in the search programs and files;

  Type: RUN

  (Make sure that you run as administrator)

  Click on the RACE to the top of the page, then right click on it and select PASTE;

  Replace Edmund regardless of your username;

  Press ENTER and let it roll.  After the installation is done, then...

  Copy the following line exactly:

  'C:\Users\Edmund\Desktop\windows6.1-kb3112343-x64.msu' /wuforce

  Click the start planet;

  Click in the search programs and files;

  Type: RUN

  (Make sure that you run as administrator)

  Click on the RACE to the top of the page, then right click on it and select PASTE;

  Replace Edmund regardless of your username;

  Press ENTER and let roll again.  Once the installation is complete, RESTART your computer.

  You should now be able to install the updates in the control panel and search for updates.  10 minutes or less, you should have a huge list of KBs to download and install.
