Windows 7 search can't find AppData files

Windows search does not find the files. The search for a zip file (which is stored in C:\Users\ \AppData\Local\Tempor C:\Documents and Settings\\AppData\Local\Temp, does not appear.

I can navigate the files without any problems.

This is just a simple example, but no functioning research is frustrating our planned deployment of W7 as we debug a request number and other problems.

Is there a way to search by index / the \AppData? This time, I almost 1 000 000 files on the disc (in the areas of 'normal' data) and indexing/search works to find.

The folder \AppData & subfolders are not included in indexed locations.
because of the thousands of files that can reside.

  • Windows XP sp3 can not find a file that I know is there

    Windows XP sp3 can not find a file that I know is there. I even copied the file to the desktop, but research still cannot find the file. He may not get indexed. But on a search for *.mp3, it will include this file. I've searched all files and folders, file name or name part and content, but the search is empty.

    The reason why I asked is that this *.mp3 IS a 'partial file name.

    If the file is an MP3 file (music), I doubt if you could ever find by searching for "contained in the file," then relevant chess is why it was not found using the complete file name or part of the name.

    If the file is not hidden, the only other thing I can think is that there is some special characters in the name of the file that is not obvious when you look at it.

    For example, there was quite a "Drunk Philly' in 1974 called hit"when will be I see You Again"by the three degrees. Let's say you have decided to appoint an this (3) .mp3 mp3 file. It would be a legal folder name, but a search for 3º.mp3 won't find it. This is because the name of the file, I used the 'degree' (Unicode 00B 0) symbol and the search string uses the symbol "masculine ordinal' (Unicode 00BA). These symbols are almost identical to the nekkid eye (can not use the actual word here), but not to a computer search engine.

    Replace any part of the name of the file, except the extension using the * wildcard would make the search works, but if you have used the 'partial' name, includes all who is this character, which could cause the problem.

    To test, I suggest renaming the file. See if research there now. If so, rename, go back to what you think it was--but use the keyboard, not copy and paste to get the name of "origin". Search finds now?

  • Windows search can not find my files

    Even if I indexed all folders on my computer Windows Search can not find something of my music, my pictures, and my videos folders. I checked if they are indexed and they are. I tried rebuilding the index, but it did not help. Does anyone know what may be the problem?

    Problem solved. One of my programs has changed the use of the search bar for "do not search" menu properties taskbar and start, I have no idea why.

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    I struggled with the same problem for a few hours. Finally, I discovered that:

    If you are looking for a word in a file name, then you must start the search string with an asterisk (wildcard character), in the opposite case, Windows will detect nothing. For example, if you are looking for "cyberdyne" in a file name, then you must look for the two "cyberdyne" and "* cyberdyne.

    If the word you are looking for is at the beginning of the name of the file, or if it is preceded by a dash or a dot, then Windows Explorer is the file without the asterisk.

  • Windows 7 start menu search can't find any files.

    Hello


    Start menu search does produce all files. The only results it shows are programs and Control Panel options. Essential, the search does not find the word, text, excel or pdf. I tried all of the obvious solutions that includes, by adjusting the indexing options. Enabling/disabling Windows Search on and off through programs and features. I have rebuilt the index a multiple of times. Define Windows Search in auto-start Services. I checked and rechecked the extensions of files included in the research and their individual parameters. I confirmed that the system has administration rights to all indexed files.
    These files are my documents transferred from Windows XP Professional 32-bit with Windows Easy Transfer to my newly purchased Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The laptop has been approved for upgrade of Windows Upgrade Advisor.
    New suggestion would be appreciated...

    Thanks in advance,
    Wes

    I thought about it. There is a search parameter slot under the Start Menu Properties. I can't believe that that has not been suggested as a possible cause on any of the fine Web of MS. well sites.

    Right click the Start Menu button.
    Select Properties
    Relative to the opening tab of the Start Menu, click "Customize...". »
    Scroll to the bottom and with the parameter 'Search the other files and libraries' select search with public folders or search without public folders.
    I hope this helps someone.

  • Windows Search can not find any file with 'two letters'-'two letters', followed by the numbers i.e. FS-XP1234

    It's a weird thing, these files are located on a network drive, but I also tested in a local folder with the same results.

    Examples of questions:
    Folder containing the following files
    FS - XP12345.pdf
    FS - XP54321.txt
    124234Sample12.PDF
    If I where to look for "FS - XP" I'd get both the FS - XP * files as results, but as soon as I add a number to search (only using the letters), for example FS - XP5 I get nothing.
    Any other combination works and files that begin with the letters or numbers I can get the name of the entire file and it works.
    Only when it has 'two letters'-'two letters' followed by a number do get no results when you search for the name of the entire file.
    I hope that makes sense.
    Thank you
    Clark

    The problematic bit is actually the hyphen, although oddly, there is no block research in all situations.  The general Council is when the search text contains a symbol such as the hyphen, place the text between quotes and place ~ = before the quoted text.  So ~ = "fs - xp5" would work, but unfortunately this special syntax does not work in areas indexed without specifying the filename property.  To limit the search to the file names and also to allow the search successfully indexed areas, enter name: ~ = "fs - xp5.

    Some symbols have actually not need quotes, but some do so they are generally advised.

  • Windows 7: the search does not find the files that should be, directory is indexed and *.php included on the list of extensions

    Windows 7: search does not find the files that should be. I have indexed directory and *.php included on the list of extensions, but search can't find files for Word searches that I know there are files with these words in them.

    If you're frustrated by research (aka Desktop Search), you are not alone. Click the Start button and type find and click the button 'change the way Windows search'. Now click on the Advanced button and select the tab file types scroll down and find your type of file (in your case .php) and make sure the radio button "index properties and the content of the file" is selected for the file type.

    Out the form by clicking on the OK button, but do not close the form when you click the Advanced button.

    Then, you may need to change the indexing locations. If the folder where your files are located is not known for indexing search, then search is not even bother looking for here (a source of frustration for many users). Maybe your files are located on another drive or partition without the knowledge of the indexing engine. Using the options icon and select/deselect expand, make sure that at least the files of interest are included for the indexed locations. I hope this helps.

  • Windows search fails to find the files in the Documents folder

    Original title: Windows 7 search finds no files, even though all the settings have been verified and the search index has been rebuilt

    I recently bought a new Dell laptop Studio 1558 with Windows 7 Home Premium and moved through several hundred documents from my old PC to the new folder 'My Documents'.

    As many others have found, Windows Search has been completely useless. She seems to have no problem finding files in the music folder or image, but anything in the document library is invisible to the it - even if I get in a subfolder small for a file name I see just in front of me, Windows Search will announce that "no element not corresponding to your search.

    I took a number of steps so far to fix the problem, which none have worked:

    1. I checked which locations are indexed for search and ensured that the document library is among them (as well as all of my C drive).

    2. I checked that appropriate file extensions (.doc .docx .pdf, etc.) are all selected from the "File Types" list in indexing options (although I noticed that 'Description of filter' for .pdf bed "Registered IFilert is not found" - not this problem with Word documents).

    3. I have deleted and rebuilt the search index.

    4. I ran the troubleshooting Windows 7 Search tool, which reports that it cannot find any problems.

    5. I have read that some problems with Windows 7 search can be solved by changing a registry key (http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-fix-windows-7-search-problems/) but when I navigate to the folder in my registry, only following three keys are here (not the one mentioned in the difficulty):

    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\ {0B2BAAEB-0042-4DCA-AA4D-3EE8648D03E5}
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\ {36011842-DCCC-40FE-AA3D-6177EA401788}
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\ {59BD6DD1-5CEC-4D7E-9AD2-ECC64154418D}

    A couple of things, I said - if I create a new word document and save it, Windows Search seems to immediately get back on it and is able to find. I also noticed that at first when I opened one of the word documents that have been transferred over the old PC and then closed it again, Windows Search picked up on it and could find it. So I went to try to open and close then all of my documents (an arduous task...), but the subject to halfway through Windows Search has ceased to be able to find them.

    All Word documents using Microsoft Word 2007 in .doc or .docx format, although the problem also applies to Excel, PDF and image files, so I don't think that the problem is with the word itself.

    I have tried everything I can think so far, including all the solutions, I could see suggested in previous discussions. I really need the search function working to effectively use my laptop so that any help would be welcome!

    Thank you, Jack

    Santosh thanks, I checked the permissions for the appropriate files and SYSTEM was present, which doesn't seem to be the problem. However, I found a solution that might work for other people are having the same problem.

    I noticed that if I changed the location of the files, Windows search suddenly seems to become aware that they existed and then indexed and followed them correctly - even if they were subsequently moved back to the original location. I just created a temporary folder outside my library of documents and then each subfolder in the folder my documents him and then come back, one by one. It was a bit laborious but the problem solved - I know not why it worked, but all the old files are now indexed and appear correctly when you use Windows Search, and it seems not to have any problems, follow-up of the newly created files.

    Cheers, Jack

  • Windows 7 search did not find the result of a formula in excel file

    Hello

    I have some files stored in a folder specific excel. In excel files, there are some formulas. Windows search, I want to find the file that shows the result of a particular formula. When I search, it not find the file with the text, the result of the formula. Can someone help me please?

    Windows cannot do this, because the formula has not been assessed or calculated yet.  Only Excel can calculate the result of the formula and show the answer, so you must open the file in Excel before you can find the result.

    Windows 7 can not find my file?

    The folder is synchronized with Google drive

    I could add 'system' of permissions, but this causes permission errorsI is currently seeking 17000 files manually and it's a pain

    Any way to get Windows 7 to find 'xp style' folders on the fly without all these stories of cataloguing which causes has other "cannot find' bugs even when

    Actually found a solution so for all those who use the Googledrive folder on Windows - you can cut search indexing (uses of data which is not updated on the records of Gdrive) causing Win 7 search "on-the-fly" = a little more slow but even faster that I can read names of 17000 files

    Just open your main Gdrive/Windows folder and choose search & Union Options / folders:

    Always search file names... CHECK

    Index of use which... CHECK

    Ok
