Windows 7: Windows Desktop Search 4, manipulation of ZIP files

Hello team Windows,

WDS 4.0 does not index the content of ZIP files (files in ZIP file). I can't find the name of the files in the ZIP file, or content.

Isn't implemented yet or to I need to activate this option somewhere?

Thank you
Wolfixx

Hello Wolfixx,

Method 1.
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.
See the article below for additional information and steps.
Open the troubleshooter for search and indexing
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-search-and-indexing-Troubleshooter

Method 2.
Also I ask you to re - index files and then check. Follow the artticle below for the procedure.

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    Looks like the indexing service is not running, or stops for some reason any.  We will check the indexing service to see if it is set to automatically run first.
    Restart the Windows Search service
    Click Start, type services in the start search box and press ENTER.
    List programs, click Services.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
    Scroll down and locate the service which is the Windows Search label.
    Right-click the service and then click Properties.
    Set the startup type: automatic (delayed start).
    Click Start to start the service, and then click OK.

    Rebuild the database that is used by the search indexer
    Click Start, the index in the search box and press ENTER.
    List programs, click on Indexing Options.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
    Click Advanced.
    Click on rebuild and then click OK to the warning that appears.
    Click OK to close the Indexing Options.
    Note: From now on, the system must re - index documents and electronic mail. However, when indexing is complete, it is likely that the performance of the system will return to acceptable levels.

    Run a file system check to ensure that no file system is damaged:
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
    Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    Hello

And when I use the charm of Windows 8 search it doesn't do anything either, I can search for Apps, but not the files. In OneNote when I go on my research notes it says "No. Results" even if there is a page called what I was looking for. Even when I am looking for emails in Outlook.

  • 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.

    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.
