Windows Search works only not XP

• Windows search works is not as expected

  Why windows search return results that do not include the string I searched for?

  I told windows to search files, as well as in the sub directories. I added the suffix. PLM to the list of files to search for.
  I'm looking for a directory for files containing the string "settings.h", and one of the files that is my main.plm file. When I open this TextPad and search for the string "settings.h" in this file is not there.
  
  Why Windows gives me this fallacious result in searches? As a programmer, it is important to be able to search through a lot of files for strings to see where they are referenced. I would expect Microsoft as a software company to understand this requirement and why it is important.
  Thank you

  I think that period is not sought specifically for and 'settings' and 'h' are treated as strings to search for in any order.  This search syntax to find the strings that contain symbols such as periods:

  Content: ~ = "Settings.h"

  However, the extraordinary ~ = syntax does not work for the content of the files that are located in areas that are indexed.  It is strange that we have indexed the content property syntax work only outside areas, but that's what we have.  This deficit is one of the reasons why I have completely disabled search indexing.  However, with indexing disabled, we are not able to retain or add manual of new additions to the list of searchable files specified by exenstion.  It might be appropriate for keep you to keep indexing on but these files in an area not indexed together.

• Exe in 32-bit Windows XP works only not in 64-bit, Windows Vista

  Use the demo version of LabVIEW 8.6 since internet downloaded and Windows XP 32 bit OS. I have developed an application and creates an exe file which communicates with a card reader to USB chip. This exe file works fine with this USB device in Windows XP 32 bit OS.

  But when I used this application exe on Windows XP 64-bit OS and also in Windows Vista 64-bit OS, the application does not work. Communication with the USB smart card reader is not at all to establish. The USB device will be appropriate driver 32-bit and 64 - bit automatically when updating on various operating systems.

  How to solve this problem? I have to install all the drivers 64-bit for LabVIEW?

  Thank you

  Its often the simple thing miss us

  In fact, my application developed in WinXP, took always dll to the folder "data" and not the c:\windows\system32 folder. In Winscard.dll of Vista is different from the one in the WinXP. That makes the difference. The application now works when I manually copied the directory system32 under WinVista winscard.dll in the folder "data" application.

  Is anyway to do this without copying? This means, that I need the application to load the dll into the system32 instead of the folder directory "data"? I hope that I was clear?

  Thank you

• Windows search works only at half way

  I click the Start button and type an article (article is not serious - the behavior is the same;) I'll call it xyz) and it gives me a few results and a button labeled "see more results". When I click on that, I get a big message with text Windows cannot find ': search query = xyz' . This problem occurs with all the choices that I'm looking for. System restart does not help. I am not aware of having changed anything recently that could affect it. I would appreciate help!

  You are right, the new profile would not forbid you from using your former or existing email or anything really. To later delete a profile, head towards the control panel and go to the users section and you can delete the profile.

  I would certainly recommend leaving both about quite awhile, just in case you fall on something, you need like a bookmark, or who knows what. Not in a hurry to remove it.

  I will ask a few colleagues to get suggestions and indicate on the subject as well, so I don't know there are regulars who hang out in these forums who will see it as well.

• Windows Search service does not (Windows 7)

  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
  Whenever I try to search that I am asked to turn on indexing, and I do.
  Because it is a recurring event, I studied further in indexing options.
  Indexing options said "indexing does not work" and and only allows me to enter the advanced options.
  Automatic troubleshooting futher gives me error measage "Windows Search service does not..." "Not fixed".
  I checked the services and tried to force start this service and get "error 3: the system cannot find the path specified."

  Can someone help me with this service?

  Security of Windows 7 is a PIA and what my problem was. "Indexing does not' and my inability to start theWindows Search service has persisted despite all these tips above and much more.

  When I went to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data and took possession of it (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/), I was able to restart the Windows Searchservice. Subsequently, indexing ran and worked.

  We need the value of the securities of the ProgramData (C:\ProgramData) directory in order to stop this _ to interfere with the installation of programs and, often, the execution of programs and services. Right-click on C:\ProgramData and select Security, then the set of permissions to allow all permissions (http://www.blogsdna.com/2159/how-to-take-ownership-grant-permissions-to-access-files-folder-in-windows-7.htm) and the problem disappeared. (Note C:\ must be path of your window or use your default root.)

  Thank you Microsoft Support for your irrational, frustrating security measures and the fact that your support team has no idea. You have not been able to write a user friendly OS from XP and probably since MSDOS. Too bad I hate Apple more than you.

  6 hours of BS to understand this.

  I hope it works for you.

  Hi Charbel,

  Have you done a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

  This problem occurs because the Messenger service is disabled. The Messenger service must run on the destination computer to activate the NET SEND command.

  Because the service is already started, and you must restart the service, you can try to stop the service, change the startup type to automatic and start the service. Check if it helps.

• ReadyBoost Windows 7 Pro 64 bit works only not with the reader flash 32 GB USB high speed...

  Hello

  I did what I could find in support.microsoft.com search/read them all using ReadyBoost on my Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit, because he seemed much more cost-effective to install a properly sized USB key from the bombings of hundreds of dollars to replace and modernize the planks of installed RAM, I, 4x2Gb @ 1066

  My basic material is:

  Intel i7 920 CPU using Gigabyte EX58 - UD3R-MOBO with 8 GB of RAM installed 1066.

  According to the info I've read ReadyBoost, the ratio is 4:1 for the size of the Flash drive compared to installed RAM or, in my case, a 32 GB USB device.

  I had the OCZ Rally2 32 GB because it tested faster about 30 GB Read and 5 to 10 MB write.

  When I go to activate the USB 32 GB for ReadyBoost flash drive, I get the "impossible... to use this device to ReadyBoost...". "error message.

  TWO QUESTIONS:

  1 knowing that my USB 32 GB current is at a speed of 31 GB read/6-10 MB write and can be replaced if necessary:

  a. y at - it a necessary range of recommended read/write speed?

  2. further, saying: the range of tested USB disk read/write speed are correct or I will get a correct drive 32 GB and with 8 GB of RAM currently installed.

  b is it? or what is the advantage in any computer processing speed using a 32 Gb USB flash drive when it is 8 GB of RAM installed (knowing that a replacement/upgrade RAM is off-budget for the foreseeable future)?

  Finally, I pass first OCZ support but received no conclusive answers.

  1st answer to yesterday 20:11

  Win7 is limited to 32 GB size by device for ReadyBoost. I've seen this problem before when the USB key is at the maximum limit. Never seen a work around so.

  AND, more interesting for me, 2nd answer:
  Today 02:37

  Few people I know with this problem that I've never heard of a solution. I don't know anyone who devoted a lot of effort as with 8 GB of memory system is not a necessity for ReadyBoost so they just moved.

  NOTE: The support guess I are underutilizing the 8 GB of RAM installed. In fact, due to the needs work I will typically have anywhere for applications and utilities operating at 20-35 someone time, using 4-6 GB of RAM at peak use.
  Ideas?  Suggestions?
  Thank you.
  John

  Hi John,.

  A flash drive may appear to meet the requirements, but Windows may detects it not as compatible ReadyBoost if its rated speed measures sequential and random performance and performance is not always quick on the set of the flash player.

  Look for a note from the manufacturer that the flash player is Compatible Windows ReadyBoost. Not all manufacturers of this list on their packaging.

  You can check with another flash drive

  Answering your questions

  a. speed for Windows ReadyBoost requirements are at least 2.5 MB per second throughput for random readings of 4 kilobytes (KB) and 1.75 MB per second throughput for 512 k random entries.

  Using memory in your storage device to speed up your computer

  (Article is for Windows 7)

  b. ReadyBoost acts as a cache of HARD disc (hard drive) and is not a replacement for direct system memory. It will not improve processing speed, but will help the launch of faster applications and push background applications that serve much in memory reserved ReadyBoost.

  For more information, please visit the links below

• [Solved] Windows 7 start menu search work does not correctly

  Hello
  I hope you guys can help me with the following:
  As I removed (through the registry) libraries in Windows 7 (see notice at the bottom) I can't find common things such as 'cmd' 'Notepad' or 'calc (tab'ulator)' find the programs installed in the search from the start menu, but CAN FIND paths like C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe. Research in the Solution Explorer window is not affected by this problem. If I try to search for example "cmd" in the search for the start menu it says "no element not corresponding to your research." When I click on "See more results" it shows This popup (click here). So I restored the registry keys, but it will not work correctly again.

  FYI: I tried several things to solve this problem but never fixed it:
  -see if the Windows Search service and Indexing Service are running (> Yes, auto-start)
  -rebuild the index (it indexes 2 additional partitions on my hard drive, C:\Windows, C:\Users, C:\Program Files (x 86)------and standard folders like the Start Menu)
  -Uninstall and reinstall Windows Search and Indexing Service (via Windows turn on or off features in the control panel > programs and features)
  -delete the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search
  -Tools Microsoft FixIt
  -Troubleshooting (also the problems search and indexing)
  -create new user account

  I forgot something? If so, I'll tell you as soon as I remember.

  Can anyone help me please with my w/out problem suggesting to reinstall Windows?

  I use Windows 7 x 64 HomePremium SP1 on a
  AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor 4200 + 2.42 GHz with
  4.00 GB of RAM and 500 GB HARD drive (partitioned into 3 disks).

  Notice:
  In order to delete the libraries I removed/edited these registry keys:
  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\ {2112AB0A-C86A-4ffe-A368-0DE96E47012E}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\ {491E922F-5643-4af4-A7EB-4E7A138D8174}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\ {7b0db17d-9cd2-4a93-9733-46cc89022e7c}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\ {A302545D-DEFF-464b-ABE8-61C8648D939B}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\ {A990AE9F-A03B-4e80-94BC-9912D7504104}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
  "{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}" = -.

  I found a solution by myself.
  If you have the same problem I had (really the same with above registry keys), just download this file: https://www.mediafire.com/?s4bt0447gk426r6 inside you will find 3 .reg files:
  -to restore the registry keys and resolving the problem of search in the menu start
  -through libraries in the start menu folders 'normal '.
  -to cancel the passage of libraries in normal files.

  To have no problem trying to merge "undo_rem_libs.reg", first give yourself permissions (full control!) of the HKCR\CLSID\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5} key by right-clicking on it > permissions... > advance > owner (tab) > click on your username > OK > again once, click your user name (this time in the 'group or user names') > check 'Allow' in the full control row > OK.
  That's all! Now you can merge the .reg for restoring above file (see problem) removed key strings with the just installed new Windows 7 original data.

  The other .reg files in the archive must be explicit.

  / Edit:
  NOTICE: this works on all versions 32 and 64 bit of Windows 7 (not tested on Windows 7 Starter).

• Search works do not and when I right click on a link to open it in a new tab, it does not work either.

  The other day, I noticed that my search box stop working. Even when I go to options and click on search, it will not be open to the top of the tab to the search options. Today, I noticed that when I right click on a link, it brings up a long list of options, but the only one I want to work is the "Open link in a new tab." Unfortunately, it does not work. I ran Spybot, Malwarebytes and Microsoft Defender and what malware, they found, it does not solve the problem. I even tried Firefox in Safe Mode and updated, but still questions. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi, this is probably because something on your system has crushed all providers default search in firefox. to recover it please download and reinstall firefox to https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ on top of your existing version.

  Since it is a behavior often caused by adware on a system, please also run a scan complete of your different system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner.
