• 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.

• Vista Search & indexing does not work

  When I go to Control Panel/Indexing Options/Advanced/show Options all the locations of some files are to check, but the OS(c:) est grisée.) I had turned off at the same time & now cannot get it turned back on.

  How to make this work?

  Why indexing taking so long?

  Why can't stop indexing or turn it off for awhile (it interferes with other programs sometimes)?

  Why seek complex with a bunch of drop downs and it usually does not even get just a subfolder. I searched (using the F command) 3 letters in a title only and got a response from an area not indexed that contains NONE of the letters, and it took several minutes. @!

  Some MS answers say to use the troubleshooting Index feature, but it doesn't seem to be indexing window.

  Hello

  These two showed more problems of search for Windows 7, however, they also seem to be
  able to affect Vista as well.

  
  1. one thing that seems to have an impact on several is the bit REACH has been set on some files
  Index cannot be set and search for cannot be found. So the ATTRIB-a *. * bps, which means archive
  is REMOVED for the files in the folder/directory Parent (top) and those in all the subfolders/sup-
  directories.

  ------------

  2 another problem seems to be McAfee and some other antivirus programs are interfering with the
  Index or search functions. McAfee, must be uninstalled using the uninstall routine in
  Windows AND the removal of McAfee too of course no remains are left. (Possibly other antivirus
  programs are also what causes this error.) Of course, you want to move to another antivirus
  MSE (Microsoft Essentials), Avast or other.

  If there are Windows XP drivers, then download to a folder on your hard drive and burn it to a CD/DVD.
  Then, after installing XP install all device drivers, start by installing the card mother/chipset driver first,
  then the SATA, Audio, USB, LAN, etc, drivers.

• Search for Time Machine does not work in the mail.

  Hello

  I'm trying to retrieve/view old e-mail my Time Machine ups back. I am backup on an external hard drive.

  When I get TM since the Mail, search application 'in time' does not work. If I go TM said Finder, or from the desktop, it works fine.

  I had to reinstall my OS and am trying to update on El Capitan, (thanks to the kind assistance of AppleCare!), but in the meantime I am eager to find those old emails.

  Any suggestions please? Thank you.

  Although you can restore a snapshot of Time Machine messages in the Mail application, it usually will not work with messages that were saved by an outdated version of the mail. In this case, you must use another method.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  ~/Library/Mail

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Services ▹ Open

  the contextual menu.* should open a folder.

  Enter Time Machine and scroll to the snapshot that you want to restore from. The folder named "Mail" are subfolders named "V2" and/or "V3" (according to the version of Mac OS X that was used at the time that the snapshot was taken.) Inside of one of these subfolders are several subfolders representing your e-mail accounts. The name refers to the email addresses that you use. Select the account folders you want and then select restore... to... in the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the Snapshot window. Restore the files on the desktop and not in their original location.

  Import the mailbox in the folders that you restored to the office. The imported messages appear in a new mailbox. Move those you want to keep everywhere where you want and delete the rest. Then, delete the files on the desktop.

  * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

• Search in win 7 does not work

  I'm running Win 7 ultimate in a virtual machine under Parallels on an iMac. In general, everything is smoothly for more than a year. However, the search function of Windows 7 is completely dead. It is not serious what I get or what directory I am, Win 7 is not even start looking. If I try to add a supplementary search as a date criterion, it does not help, either. Is it necessary to activate it first in some way? I checked under default programs in Control Panel and Windows Search Explorer says "this program has all its faults." What I am doing wrong?

  Hello

  
  Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
  Your index requires virtually no maintenance. However, if the index find the files you know problems must be located in an indexed location, you might need to rebuild the index. This can take a long time to complete, so avoid this step unless you have given the index enough time (several hours) to correct the problems first. To rebuild the index:
  Method 1:
  a. open indexing and Search Options by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Indexing Options.
  b. click Advanced Options, click the index settings tab and then click on rebuild. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
