Problems with windows search
I moved my download folder to my larger Erive and off of my smaller SSD
boot disk. So File Explorer is more or less just pointing to E:\downloads Now when I search for files in my Download folder search comes back as 'Not Found' when I know the file is there. Anyone have any ideas what is going on here? When I go directly to the E:\downloads folder search works fine. Any help please? |

I've already done that but still I cannot find anything I search for in my downloads folder? First try to fix your timezone or set your system time correctly so that you are with us on this planet. At present you seem to be ahead of everybody on this planet. Do this first and then let us know what happens. |

In windows explorer, go to the "Download" library, right click and select properties, select the "location" tab and use the "Find Target" button to change the location to your new E: drive folder.

I should have taken your statement more literally, so my answer was not on target. This is my new understanding, you are using the Windows "Search" functionality to "search" for items in your Download folder, but those files are not being presented in the search results. I would say you need to add the new location to the list of folders which are being indexed by W8. This is a fairly easy and straight-forward process. The images and narrative on this page should be explain the process adequately: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-Indexi...s-in-Windows-8 |
