I don't remember ever having this problem before, so I have to assume that one of these Windows 10 Version 1903 Updates did this latest
I have 500+ images in a folder & each has a model name, a 3-4 digit number & some other info in the file name. I'm looking for 3 models, so...
I search each girl's name:
No items match your search
I search each girl's number:
No items match your search
I scroll thru by hand & they're all in there
I search a number that I'm looking at in the filename in the folder:
No items match your search
I poke around the Search options, go into Advanced & look at the Indexed Locations & I shit you not, these are the only 2 folders that were being indexed:
Start Menu
Internet Explorer History
I 1st indexed just the folder I was working in & Bingo! It finds the images I'm looking for. I then let it index everything (which took HOURS) & hopefully it won't revert to their Start Menu & unused browser in the future.
