Hey so I'm having issues with the windows 10 search bar on the bottom left which are it really slow, and it not finding files. I just upgraded from windows 8.1 and I absolutely LOVED the charms search bar because it found anything I was looking for in a split second.
When I first got windows 10 the search bar would only look for things in the C drive, so I looked up some stuff and found that I had to re-index my other drives (also deleted cortana because she was irritating). That temporarily fixed the problem of files not being found, but it also made the searches take a really long time to find results. But, after a few days I noticed that the search bar wasn't finding new files downloaded after the indexing date. Re-indexing seems to fix the problem but my computer has a few million files and I'm not willing to rebuild every few days.
Anyone have any ideas to why the search is slow/not updating, and how to make it more like windows 8.1's?
Also does anyone happen to know if windows 10 uses a different search algorithm than windows 8.1
How often and how many files do you add each day? – Moab – 2016-08-16T22:05:34.813
often and a lot. I'm constantly adding and removing new things/ backed-up software stored in my network server, but i don't see how it would be a problem now. Everything worked lightning fast in windows 8.1 and windows 10 is suppose to be an improvement. I know I can stay with windows 8.1, but the way Microsoft is updating with things such as direct x 12, etc. I know I won't have a choice but to upgrade at some point in the future. – Whackpoobrain28 – 2016-08-16T22:57:00.133
