• 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.

• Windows 7 search () still does not work.

  Although I followed other dialogues forum on the subject and tried all the suggested solutions, Windows 7 Search still does not for me. It will be as stuff in Control Panel etc, but never files and documents.

  Here's what I've done so far: -.

  1. Run the troubleshooter of Search & Indexing, say things that I can't find the files or by e-mail. It detects any problems.
  2. In Control Panel / programs and features, I checked that Windows Search is turned on. (The Indexing Service is turned off).
  3. In Control Panel / folder Options, I checked that the default values of the research are defined.
  4. I tried to rebuild the Index in Control Panel / Indexing Options.
  5. I looked for the wandering registry key mentioned here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7files/thread/cc378149-8765-498a-9480-b1b494e1a1a9 my system does not have it.
  6. I checked that the files (for example, "My Documents") have set of permissions system.
  7. I tried to switch to a different account username and research, which also do not work.
  8. I compared all the settings on my desktop PC (that has the problem) with my laptop, which is also running Windows 7 Home Edition, and on which the search works very well. They are all the same.

  What can I try?

  Hi, Rob.

  I worked my way through all the tips, but could not solve the problem. (I do not stop my AV - Avast - as it is also used on my laptop, which has never had a problem.) Finally I, reluctantly, created a new profile and copied all my files across, and search now works as it should.

  Best regards

• Search bar does not work.

  I am running FF25.0.1 on Windows 7, but I had this problem for several versions, do not remember when he started. The search bar does not work with any engine, I can type and the cursor flashes but it does not research when I hit enter or use the search button.

  I tried:
  -clean the uninstall/reinstall firefox
  -create a profile
  -in the course of running as an administrator
  -test in safe mode
  -suppression of research and searchmetadata.json, formhistory.sqlite, etc..
  -removal of the plugins to search then by reinstalling ff to generate news
  -use the searchreset addon

  After some of them, the search bar will work only once to help enter or the button before returning to the uselessness.

  I'm more or less certain that I don't have a malicious software. I do not use the address bar to search because it is a little more complicated to use terms, including the slashes or openings of the diaphragm, and put except that I do not have the functions which do not hang out.

  Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

• The firefox search bar does not work and when trying to manage search firefox engine crashes and I have to force to leave.

  My search bar does not work. I can enter text and the work of AutoFill, but when I hit enter or click the magnifying glass, nothing happens. (The address bar works). I can't change the search engine of google for other engines by default, but they are looking for either. When I open "Manage search engines" menu opens and I can make changes, but then he won't and I leave firefox to get the strength to normal navigation. It drives me crazy, please help! I tried to restart the search engine, my computer, changed such parameters suggested by other pages, but nothing helped. (Safari search bar works, but I don't use Safari, so I would really like to understand how to solve this problem).

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  Is two weeks.

  I had this same problem. Couldn't Google to search in weeks bar. Drove me crazy.

  Does what you has proposed and made a new profile, but simply copied to a file or folder at a time in the new profile in the Finder and started the profile to test to see if it worked or not for Google.

  It came down to formhistory.sqlite. The second I put that in Trial, the Google bar stopped working. Found out it just saves your form history and past Google searches, so I'm ok with starting over on that. I'll just have to enter my address one more time on the next form I fill out.
  

  I tried just compensation history form and search in Firefox, but that does not solve, so I went ahead and made another new profile and replaced the formhistory.sqlite from this profile file my trial period. It worked, then I did the same thing with 'default '.

  Problem. Solved.
