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.

    Since the installation of Version 39.0, yahoo search no longer works. It does not connect. I have reset / updated Firefox. Does not help anything. Other search engines work, but not "search.yahoo.com. It works in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. Any ideas? Thank you.

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

    URL Bar Search no longer works after update and no research options available!

    "URL Bar Search" which is an extension? Or are you referring to the address bar, sometimes called the address bar?

    Let's try a few basic trounleshooting.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click on the menu button , click Help , and then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    Let know how's going on.

    Hello

    Location:

    Updated several projects of RH9 to RH11

    I had a problem whereby R/H did not find my .html files after reinstalling. I finally solved this by completely rebuilding my laptop form zero, and then reloading of Robohelp.

    Now, I find that when I try to enter my files source Windows Explorer crashes (urgghh!) when you click on the folder. There is no error message to report it just falls.

    Note: I can get the source folder / files in Robohelp "open an existing project" point above impact on integration of Windows Explorer and the image (CTRL-G)

    By the way why do we constantly with these / similar questions every time we re - install R/H and why is a troubleshooting guide does not come with the installation? Terribly frustrating in our advanced technically do not age to be able to insert and install disk roll your sleeves to the top and continue using your new toy. (o)

  • Full text search no longer works

    Hello

    Suddenly I lost the full text search in compiled HTML Help files. That's where as recently as a week or two ago, but suddenly, it does not work. I can enter a search term, but when I click on "List of topics", I get a message 'not found news. ' I made sure the search words are not in the stop-list, but are in the topics.

    Recently, the only change I made was to install Windows XP SP3.

    Any ideas? I've read http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=65 & catid = 449 & threadid = 1277647

    RoboHelp V7, fully patched.
    Thank you

    Fixed - I reinstalled HTML Help workshop. Apparently, something essential full-text search gets bollixed upward in the XP SP3 update.

    Thank you

  • Why isn't the RT addon is no longer works from a Firefox update?

    Can someone explain how to fix an Addon RT outage once updated to Firefox?

    The failure continues even after uninstalling the Addon of RT.
    Then reboot and then reinstalling the Addon of RT.

    The RT Addon worked perfectly until Firefox did an upgrade!
    Mozilla also answer questions of support on this issue.

  • Since release 5.0 with Twitter Search, I can't print web pages. Big problem! How to fix?

    I have need to print Web pages very frequently for my business and can no longer preview before printing, or what method I use (drop-down menu, click right, etc..). Can't print a page that has an icon of the printer on it. Extremely frustrating and I'm ready to come back, God forbid, Internet Explorer. So things like adding of modules is Greek to me I am not a grumpy! I'd be happy to go back to a previous version of Firefox that worked if I knew how.

    Can you try disabling the extension "HP Smart Web Printing"?

    Orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Modules

    On the left, click Extensions. There should be a button to disable for the HP Smart Web Printing.

    After restarting Firefox, print works? (Fingers crossed!)

  • All the search engines in Firefox no longer works

    I have Firefox used for centuries and do not understand what has happened. No search no longer works. No research on the address bar or the search box (right side). No search plugin work. If I call a search engine Homepage, as typing google.com in the address field, the engine of Google appears, but when I try to look for, it always goes without any reaction. The same thing with any other search engine. Search normally works on IE.

  • Google search links stopped working

    What is hell? Today, I noticed that the links provided by Google search no longer work. If I click on a link suggested by google search, nothing happens! The same screen is presented. I tested it with Firefox 10 and Firefox 6. Same result. Only the previews of google are available, but the actual source links are not clickable.

    I also tried the same exact search with IE, and I'm sad to say that the problem is not with Google.

    Disable Adblock did not change this anomaly.

    Not sure, but this seems to happen and shuts off when cookies are blocked. It might be that this change was not completely turned upside down in my area. This Add-on seems to help at the moment and also with cookies off.
