Why search results list of files under several types of files

When I use the search for windows 7, the returned files are listed as several types of files that are not relevant.

In other words, a Word document will return in the results of research as a 'Document' and as a 'video' and an 'image' and 'music '.
The documents do not have no more any music incorporated, photos, objects and videos.

How do I put the research so that Windows 7 do not think that the documents are bad or several types of non-relevant files.

Hi Wintomac,

I see that the search results are not relevant. I'll help you with this problem.

1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

2. what security software is installed on the computer?

3. have you made changes on the computer recently?

4 is the computer connected to a network domain?

  • Why can I not see the emails of the search results in the files in offline mode?

    When you perform a search in Thunderbird, if the result is in a folder offline, clicking on that result to view the entire email will show nothing. This "bug" has been present for as many years as I use Thunderbird (a very long time).

    1 create a folder offline.
    2. drag a bunch of emails from a direct IMAP folder to your folder in offline mode.
    3. perform a search that will give you results from this folder in offline mode.

    You will be presented with a list of snippets of email, but no result that resides in a folder in offline mode will be completely empty when you click it. The conversation list and the content of the email will be empty.

    Menu (Alt + H) help > troubleshooting information
    Click the display folder
    Close Thunderbird.
    Remove the global messages file - db.sqlite
    Restart Thunderbird.

    I repeat: Thunderbird successfully research and shows me a message body my search results - even from local folders. He shows me the same partial email bodies. It is when I click on a result that nothing happens.

    Probably because the index is not received the message of movement and is looking in the old location.

    When editing in the CVI, I often usefully copy content from "Search results" in a window of change so that I can change/analysis/filter/sort information.  I wish I could do the same thing in the TestStand sequence editor.  Is a temporary file that is generated when the TestStand search results are displayed?  If Yes, where?  If not, is it possible to send the results to a text file?  Thanks for any help.

  • The search results in Windows Explorer not always highlighted.

    Windows Explorer in Windows 7 is just great!

    But why is not always highlight the results of research (especially the Word documents) is beyond me.

    In a typical search result list displays some highlighted, others do not. Why is this?

    The highlight appears only if it exactly matches your search term.

  • When I look for a file in Win Explorer, I get a list of files in the search results. But some of the files seem to be missing. I get a message that the directory is not found when I try to open the search results.

    I wonder if what's on my hard drive and if what Win Explorer is on my hard drive are two different things.

    If I do a search in Win Explorer to "purple", I get a number of results.
    (To search for a file, I am in the word "Purple" in the search field in the upper right Win Explorer and pressing the "Enter" button).

    There are a couple of JPG files that I wonder about the search results.
    One example is called "purple_flowers.jpg".
    When I double-click this file in the search results to open it, my paint program opens and gives me a message that the directory is not found. If I use MS Paint to try and open it by double-clicking on the file and selecting "open with...". MS Paint", I get a message that the directory is not valid.

    The location of the directory on the error message is the blue 'Images' folder for my user. But, when I opened this file, I don't have a file with that name in this directory. The same thing happens with another JPG file, called "octopus.jpg" when I search the word 'Octopus '.

    Is this something messed up between what I have on my hard drive and think what Win Explorer is on my hard drive?
    How can I fix?
    Something must be reset in Win Explorer?

    I could have the JPG files with these names at the same time. I had a large library of images for a project, but I deleted it.
    (I tried to turn on the option to show hidden files in this directory, but that did not help).

    Imane:

    I thank very you much for that answer.
    But it seems to have stumbled on the solution:

    Strangely, this worked:

    (Maybe you know why).

    I moved the files in my blue images folder in another folder, delete the folder images blue, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted my computer.
     
    When my computer has finished its startup routines, my folder of photos blue was there! And he had the shortcut to the folder 'Sample Pictures' inside.
     
    When I searched "the Octopus" and "purple", I no longer saw these JPG files in the search results.
     
    I don't really know what happened, but I thought that after these results just in case someone else knows this.

    I'll read and watch in your information. I don't want to know more about what is happening in my computer.

  • column of file missing in the bookmarks search results

    In the library of all bookmarks page, when you search for bookmarks, the returned list does not record information. When I find dead links, I would go to this bookmark folder to see if there are any more stale bookmarks that are. I guess that more people use tags as the folders and subfolders to sort their bookmarks? For example, under Science, I have astronomy, physics, etc.

  • A multitude of what seems unnessesary files in "search results."

    Check to see why my laptop becomes so sensitive over slow although I have 4 GB of RAM, I kept looking everywere and when I clicked then open and RECENT LOCATIONS 'SEARCH RESULTS', I found 3677 elements here, but when I tried to remove them. I stopped when deleted files reached 20700 and 2000 files. Does anyone know how this rubbish gets there in the first place and it is safe to remove it completely. Any help is very appreciated.     John

    Hello

    I suggest you to check once more and confirm if there was an increase in consumption of space of hard drive because of these duplicate files.

    If there is an increase in consumption of hard because of these duplicate files disk space, then the computer may have a virus infection. You can run a scan of MSS in safe mode with network.

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

    You can run 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.

    In addition, if there is no infection of viruses on the computer so as mentioned previously, you could probably be referring to the recent lists is just shortcuts that will not cause a slowdown. If you open one of these saved searches, and delete the results, then you are probably trying to remove real files, no shortcuts.

    You can provide a screenshot so that we can better guide you.

  • List shows the results of unwanted files in Acrobat 9 std.

    I have been using Acrobat 9 standard for 5 years now. My main use is to be found in the files of. PDF files. Recently, I am facing a problem. Whenever I search (Basic / Advanced) for a word in several files kept in a file, the result shows the list of all the files (which are analyzed) in results windows although there is no case of "searched the word". For example, I have a folder named "D:\JOURNAL" have 40 records. If I have a word search "ABCD" in "D:\JOURNALS". the result is 40 files with 3 instances' & the list displays all the names of file 40. In fact, it should only show files with one or more instances of "ABCD".

    Can someone tell me how to change it?

    Thank you.

  • Export the results of the research of several PDF files

    Hi all

    I have a set of over 100 000 documents PDF, and seeks to identify those documents that contain a set of four numbers.  Preforably I would like to export this list in the format in which I can link to each document - ideally an Excel xls document.  Any advice on the export of an index search in Adobe or any other proposed option would be very useful.  Thanks in advance.

    See you soon,.

    Terry

    You will need Acrobat X or higher to do this, but here's how I would perform this task:

    (1) create an index of full text of the document as a whole (and I guess your 100K files all contain searchable text content)

    (2) run your search index via the advanced search of Acrobat functionality

    (3) save results to one. CSV file, which was a long-awaited feature that came to Acrobat X

    (4) when you open it. CSV in Excel (you can save as .xls (x) one more flexibility), you will have a list of file names, then a sublist of the page where the search took place

    (5) from there, you'll need to manipulate the data in the Excel worksheet to list the full filepaths for each line, how you should then be able to open the file directly from your Excel sheet.

    Doing the open to the exact PAGE Excel sheet is a bit more complex, but it is also possible with some VB scripts.  You can search for it on the web if you want an example of code.

    FYI, I approach this concept a little differently in my book, where I use a simple VB script instead of paths, I say just to point out that there are several options to set up the links once you're in Excel.

    Hope that helps!

  • My music search by name of file to a list?

    iTunes 12.3.2.x

    I used to be able to do very easily in iTunes, but cannot find a way to make this more.

    Here's an example - I have many different guitars scratching records, and one of them is a Carvin DC125.  So the recordings made with this guitar I would make sure that "DC125" was the name of file.  When I search in 'My music' 'DC125', I can always find a list of files, but this list only presents under the search box until I have select one of the files, and then disappears from the list.

    iTunes USED to let me "DC125" as a search, then he just showed these files in a list and I could jump around in this list at will without having to do the research again.

    There is no other useful to filter metadata that with, the artist is 'unknown' and there are thousands of files with this info.  I tried to make playlists as well, but for what its worth the old search function has been much better and smoother for this sort of thing.

    Dang-as usual, I found the right answer after frustrated enough to ask for help!

    If someone stumbles across this thread the response was:

    (1) research 'My Music' as expected.

    (2) on the left side of iTunes - click on «All artists»

    It gave me a list that resembles an album I can navigate at will as I used to see.

  • Cannot delete the file search results

    I uninstalled a program but the files in the folder that has been deleted appear always in my indexed search results, I want to delete them, but it says the file "Does not exist" which is the reason why I want to remove in the first place... because it no longer exists, why have it appear in my results. These files will leave eventually or will they have a permanent dwelling home in my research indexed.

    Hi Gamemaster406,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
    To resolve this problem, you will need to index your computer.
    Click Start > type "index" > click on indexing on search results Options.
    Then click on advanced > click on rebuild.
    This will re-index your computer.

  • Files search results

    After performing a search, the left pane of folders is positioned in the temporary folder to search down results.  Is it possible to avoid this and let folders not affected?

    No, unfortunately, it is the way it is prgrammed and it is hardcoded and there is no feature that I know to change (or doesn't in this case) the repositioning of the files Panel.  It happens because it is positioned on the right this folder (as it should).  It's a minor annoyance with the fact that will have to learn to live.  The amazing part is no doubt believe that it was a good idea when it was developed - so although they don't even consider adding some configuration options (or maybe that's what happened when they tried and figured it was acceptable or even preferable and not worth any effort to change any other thing).  Consider yourself lucky - in my case, there are a dozen foldersunder the folder temporary search results which are records of actual file and I can't understand how to remove them from the list without deleting the folders (or prevent them from continuing to add to the list because I'm not sure what I am doing happens - but I'll deal with it when I have the time to examine the problem).

    I hope that this same help if this isn't the answer you wanted to hear.  There are MANY variations of the search in Vista, but desired was not one of them, and I sincerely doubt that they will put any effort in changinng it.  They aren't accepting bug or suggestion for Windows Vista reports more (I just checked) so we can't even report it.

    Good luck!
