Windows 7 Search index does not maintain the sites indexed

My search indexer is not indexed parameters locations I do and after a day or two, he returns to the original setting whicgh was the Start Menu.  I changed the indexed locations to include most of my C drive, and it indexes all (the search function works well for awhile) but a day or two later, when I do a search, nothing comes.  I double-check the settings and find that it has been restored to the original indexed locations.

My system is updated regularly and I'm using Avast antivirus.

Thank you

Hi TomHathcoat,

Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are facing the question with an indexer search does not maintain the indexed locations.

Method 1:

I suggest you run the troubleshooter and check if this solves the problem. See the following article to do the same thing.

Open the troubleshooter of search and indexing.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-search-and-indexing-Troubleshooter

Method 2:

Try to rebuild the search indexing. See the steps in the following article.

  • 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

  • my task manager on windows vista family premium does not show the tabs before and used to work properly.

    my task manager on windows vista family premium does not show the tabs it used to, when I used to open the Task Manager it would be things like 'process' 'services' 'preformance' ect. in the tabs. but now when I open it it shows just a window that has two columns, one labeled task, and other labeled status. It shows what im running, but there any options at all as the winger treat ect. the window is not even an exit or minimize the icon as other windows are in the upper right. the only way to close it alt f4 do - what I do? Ive already tried to restart the computer, and I'm on the only account to administer it. I have a screenshot of the new manager of task here: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k621/a_bakedpotato/vistataskmanagerisue.jpg

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

    I buy the art external disk HARD Stor E 3.5 "and spend a few days in windows does not recognize the HARD drive. Try to connect the drive to other USB 2 ports and nothing happens. Use a USB to see if has been a problem with the USB ports, but all 3 are OK. Try it on the laptop Asus and windows 7 recognizes the HARD disk. I formatted the drive in NTFS FS. In managing records do not show the external HARD disk. What can I do to fix this?

    My laptop is a Qosmio F60

    This is a really silly situation. It can be recognized by other laptops but not your Qosmio.
    According to the description of your HARD drive when connected simply doesn t exist for your Qosmio laptop.

    Some other HDD is recognized correctly?
    What you can try is to reinstall the chipset driver, restart the laptop and test it again.

    Since when you have this problem? Some installed updates of the last days?

  • Windows Media Center EPG does not have the correct data

    Windows Media Center EPG on my computer is so ugly!

    Description is separated in two, and it's always the last part that displays first, so you'll have to roll down to the bottom to read the description.

    The series is difficult to use, because the series 1) is not always marked as series (so you can select 'plain' Record), and 2) the title contains often series of numbering (e.g. "the bodyguards (1:6)"), so even if it is marked as a series, it will record ever "Guards body (2:6)" or other titles (the Media Center will just try to record any episode of "Bodyguards (1:6)").

    It is the broadcaster who create * data, and then displays in Media Center via Broadcasting Dataservices Ltd., or who are the last to blame?

    What is MS Media Center that does not have the correct data?

    I am in Denmark, if this has an impact on the response.
