• 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.

  Thanks in advance for your help-Frank

• Windows Search does not search for Python files

  I would like to search in a specific directory indexed for all Python containing the word Aaron. I go to this directory and type in the phrase

  content ext:py: Aaron and the search returns nothing, even though I know, there are many cases in this directory

  I would like to search in a directory specific indexed for all Python files

  The python files won't be indexed by default. Have you checked with the extension .py files are being indexed? And that the properties and the content of the files are being indexed?

  Index of type in the search box of start and select options indexing results. Find the extension .py to Advanced > types of files and add it if it is not there. Don't forget to select the properties of the Index and the contents of the file, then check that the Description of the filter change filter of plain text.

• Vista search does not work

  No matter what I do, I can't find Vista to work - most of the time, the search will not find the files I'm looking for, although I can see them at the top of the list of files in the directory. I rebuilt the index multiple times with no improvement in the service. In another case, the search will find only files created in October 2009 (that is when I started using Vista), but specific searches do not work in other files, that I moved all the files in this folder to another folder and the result is the same, even if the file is renamed to something different. I also noticed that, in some cases, research fails to recognize a file named re and get back a result if I search the name of the original file (even if the file name has changed significantly).

  Simply, research of simple file names which I am accustomed to years of XP do not bring the results I need. I have same useless content search function at all. It was recommended that I find a simple program of research of third party for searches of files, but that's not really answering the question.

  I guess I would rather just turn the indexing function OFF set (that I tried), but it does not appear to improve the ability of Vista to find the files I need.

• Windows Search can not index the A: drive

  Do not assign the letter 'A' on a disk partition, because Windows Search does not index the A: drive. I made a Win7 installation on a system with a SSD boot drive and a conventional hard drives.

  I did my data to partition the A: drive and moved my files user for this partition. Windows Search could not find anything on this drive until I assigned a different drive letter to the partition.

  I know that there are very few machines with floppy drive.

  Is always the convention however that readers and B are reserved for floppy drives and will be until there is no more floppy drives on the left.

  If you connect a USB external floppy drive on your machine, it is the reader, NOT the D or E or F or any other letter.

  Therefore, it is not a good plan to designate any partition on a HARD disk as drive A...
