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 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.

  • XP host does not have any file that begins with "VM".

    Problem of crazy that I can't understand.  Under XP Pro SP3 on a desktop computer and try to install VMPlayer 3.01.  If I try to run the file that I downloaded I get a warning that "this application has failed to start because the application configuration is incomplete.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. "This exact file installs without problem on my XP Pro laptop.

    Here are the best, if I rename the file, so it does NOT begin with "VM", it will install.  But then if I try to turn on a guest operating system, I get an error because the other files that start with "VM" are started and fail.  If I rename notepad.exe to vmnotepad.exe it will not work!

    I uninstalled VMplayer and tried again with the same results.  I even tried a few VMware cleaner utility but no change.

    Any ideas?  Thank you.

  • Search does not find text in I know there in the files.

    Search for Windows 7 is so bad that I have to use another tool to find the files I want.  I tried to change the indexing options "changing how windows search" to add other extensions but it still can't find them.

    I'll try to find some text in these types of files
    . JSF
    . JSFF
    . JSPX
    . BPEL
    .bin
    .exe

    How can I force windows to search for all types of files regardless of their extension, even if the directory is not indexed.  I currently have to use a utility called A43 file management and it works very well and can find the files in less time that windows search and can't find them.

    Hello

    When you add extensions (in Indexing Options > Advanced button > File Types tab), be sure to click the option at the bottom for "properties of the index and content of the folder.
    Then Folder Options in the Search tab, click "always search file names and contents" (the 2nd option down).  This will force to search in the content even if the folder is not indexed.  So in sites indexed, it will be instant, but in places not indexed, it will look like XP did.
    ATTENTION: Many people make this mistake.  do not add all of your computer to your index, thinking it will make each quick search: it will simply blow the database. Not everything can be important.  Think of it like this: If your boss has sent every email as "priority", by definition, it would be useless.

    This occurs only in a specific file type?

    Possible causes for this issue:

    1. the type of file is not indexed

    2. the file has properties that prevent it from be indexed

    3. the indexer has not yet inserted the file in the index

    4. the indexer is overlooking the file

  • 'Open with' pop up at startup and during the session asking what file to open CHKUPD with. CHKUPD has no extension. Search does not find it.

    My problem is similar to the question asked by EamonnO.  Start a 'open with' screen opens asking what file to open chkupd with.  I think that hit "Cancel" would put an end to the action.  He appears periodically during my session on the computer or watching a movie.  I don't find the file using search.  I don't think that this means Daemon Tools because I never downloaded the program.  Some recent downloads include "Free File Viewer" and "Search for free Extension".  I have Vipre AV and System Mechanic running on my computer.  The situation may be harmless, but it is sure agrivating.  Thanks for any help you offer.  George

    Hello

    I had the same problem and there to remedy I just open the control panel and open then "Add / Remove programs.  The popup is apparently caused by a free File Viewer program.  I removed the program by clicking on the button Delete and the problem disappeared.  The free file viewer comes with a conversion program free .mp3 and seems to be completely unnecessary (I never needed the viewer of the file and open it with popup that was originally was boring and sometimes even nervewracking.)  If you do not have to uninstall programs of assistance, just the viewer of the file that comes as a free supplement program (problem).

    Once again, removal procedure: click on 'start '.
    Click on "Control Panel."
    Double click on "Add or remove programs".
    Click on "Free File Viewer" in the list of programs
    Click 'delete '.

    After this, the 'chkupd' open with popup when it stops appearing.

  • 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.

  • bluetooth Windows search does not find my sd10 headset motorola

    Recently bought this Motorola SD10 HD bluetooth headset to listen to internet radio on my laptop Dell Latitude E6410.   The headset pairs easily with my HTC Droid phone, but I'm unable to pair it with my laptop.    The search function of Windows bluetooth device does not have the helmet, there is no possibility to try same pair.   Motorola phone supports the claims, it is a problem of Windows since the pair of headphones with my cell phone.

    BTW I also use a mouse bluetooth with the laptop and sometimes it loses the pairing and the only way to (re) pair is to remove the device and the device to be added again.   So I think it's a problem of bluetooth of Windows.

  • Why my lightroom does not find my file unless my camera card is in the card reader

    I imported the photos from my camera card and created a collection.  I then remove my the USB card reader.  When I try to edit photos in lightroom, it says "file is not found."  It is the folder if I set my camera card in.  It seems that my collections are stored on the card in my camera (is this possible?), but I don't know how this could happen or how to fix it. Help?

    HI Robert,.

    It seems that when you imported the images from the card you added in the catalog instead of making a copy. in the window at the top import, we have the option 'copy as dng', 'copy' , 'move', 'Add '.

    choose copy, and then on the right, we will get the destination Panel. in which we can choose the destination in which we have to copy the images from the card.

    Thank you

  • There is a folder called AppData "Virtualized" battery under A search does not find it.

    I have been using a PDF application for a couple of years. My operating system is Vista Home Premium and up to date. Recently, with the introduction of the order of things ' homelessness, the app PDF (NitroPDF) began recording file I have print from a Web site in the following stack?

    Bob

    AppData

    Local

    Microsoft

    Windows

    Temporary Internet files

    Virtualized

    C

    Users

    Bob

    Documents

    PDF documents

    I followed this chain, and when I get to the temporary Internet files, there is no record more in the list.  I did a search for the file "Virtualized" but can't find it.  All files, including hidden files, are sought.  Yet, when I see the final chain folder, whenever I use the PDF app, the previous files are still displayed, so they must be saved on my computer.

    I learned to check the "recorded in ' location whenever I use the app, so now the print fill is saved in the correct folder of PDF Documents under Bob > Documents > Documents PDF.  But there are still a few old documents in this chain of "Virtualizes" that I can't access.

    Can you help me find them?

    Hello

    ·          Will there be other documents in one virtual folder other than those of NitroPDF?

    This could be a case where the application itself started virtualizing documents, rather than save them on his computer.

    I suggest you to send your requests in Nitro community support Centre.
