Hello Wolfixx,
If you have problems of location of the files, folders, or other items on your computer, try using the search and indexing of troubleshooting to solve the problem. It ensures that the Windows Search service is running and checks if you have the correct permissions to search all the directories on your computer.
Open the troubleshooter for search and indexing

Windows Desktop Search 4.0 how to format the column Date in results?
Is it possible to change the date column in the result pane of Windows Desktop Search 4.0?
It runs on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server.
I have users who need to modify files that arrived today and yesterday, after 17:00. The date column only displays the time on files including today's date. Is there a registry setting that I can shape for this column to always display the Date and time?

Uninstall Windows Desktop Search.
How to uninstall Windows Desktop Search? It was fairly easy to install, I don't even remember how to do it. It does not appear in Add / Remove from the control panel.
Hi Charles,
you have learned what I and many others have also learned the hard way... usually Reg editors damage much more than good. That said, I advise you to do a system restore to before you used it, or you may need to reinstall a victory.

Windows Desktop Search gaps in the entire office vs specific folder search
I am running Windows XP Pro on a laptop, and have installed WDS. If I search for a file from the Windows taskbar, it shows a file in my folder. If I click find on the file menu bar, (which opens from WDS, but specifies to search only in this case), it says that the file is not there. I tripled checked, closed the windows and searched again, with the same results. The 'version' of WDS that appears when looking for a specific folder, do not use the same index using the search bar? Advice on the resolution of this conflict?

Indices from scratch whenever I connect to Windows Desktop Search.
Hello
I was frustrated for a while because my PC seems to work for centuries after the start to the top. Now, I realized that this is because Windows Desktop Search indexes from scratch every time. It takes more than an hour for about 65 000 items in the index and then works fine. But when I switch the computer the next time I log on the number of indexed items is zero and it starts indexing all over again.
I deleted Windows Search and re-installed the latest version, but it's still the case. Surely, it should contain the elements previously indexed.
Any ideas on what I should do?Hi, John Robert E.
· Do you remember recent changes made to your computer before the show?
· What is the service pack installed on the computer?
Rebuild indexing on your computer and check the results:
a. click on start
b. click Control Panel
c. Select indexing options
d. Select the Advanced tab
e. Select rebuild.

Windows Desktop Search is not working properly
For some time after 4 days my computer will be slow and does not respond well. If I stop and start again, a box appears saying that desktop search is not working properly and options to stop the computer, reboot and rebuild the index. After that performance improves for a few days. What is the problem? Your help is appreciated.
slberry50,

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\Temp
or 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.

Error: Windows backup could not create a zip file.
I installed Windows 7 RC. Installation went well, system runs quickly with no problem except when I try to perform a backup. Seems to work at the end of the backup, and then fails with the error message «Windows backup to create a zip file» could not «This could because the reader what is installed on Windows isn't a not enough space or it could be a temporary error.» Make sure you have at least 400 MB of free space and try again' drive Windows is installed on has 163 GB of free space. I tried several time backup on a separate internal drive > 300 GB of free space and a NAS drive (> 1.5 TB of free space with the same error message).
Hi mhgreene,
Thanks for posting "Preparation for Windows 7" community forum.
Of after the information provided which happens usually not, is that the system tries to write to the partition recovery or diagnostic partition instead of the C:\. You can confirm the backup partition is written is done to partition the drive, and you want the backup to reside.
Let us know if this helps solve the problem or if assistance is needed.

ISearchQueryHelper - search for content of Zip files
Hello
I use inside ISearchQueryHelper interface my .net / c# application to search for files of windows.
This works very well for all files uncompressed. But if I search for Zip files / compressed, it does not give me the results of research.
All I want is just to give me a list of files that match the text that I'm looking for...
If the file is .txt, .log, etc, I will get the result...
But if the file is .zip, it does not give me the results.
Here is the SQL query...
«"" "" "'SELECT \"System.ItemPathDisplay\', \"System.ItemName\', \"System.ItemFolderPathDisplay\ ', \"System.Message.CcName\ ', \"System.ItemNamePrefix\ ', \"System.ItemFolderNameDisplay\ ' OF \"SystemIndex\ "WHERE CONTAINS(*,'\"error*\"',1033) AND scope =' leader: C:\\Users\\dhanusks\\Desktop\\zTemp' AND (System.FileName LIKE"%.zip"OR System.FileExtension AS '%.zip') ORDER BY System.ItemPathDisplay ASC»
