I asked Windows 7 to index my entire "Media" folder. After it was done it'd find anything in there, no problem.
Then I reorganized it a bit and moved some folders around, and now it doesn't find things inside those folders anymore. For example, I'm looking at a folder with the files:
01. Ferry Corsten - Shelter Me.mp3
02. Ferry Corsten - Black Velvet.mp3
...
05. Ferry Corsten - Made Of Love.mp3
...
I type in "Love" in the search box for the current folder, and it doesn't find anything.
I checked in "Indexing Options", and this very folder is checked off in there. It seems I just messed up its indexing feature. Any ideas how fix?
1Thank you, works great, +1. Quick tip for anyone following, hitting the windows key and typing "index" gives quick access to the Control Panel / Indexing panel. – zx81 – 2016-01-17T21:42:12.060
It's horrible to have to do a whole rebuild. There are two solutions shown below that DO purport to work. I tested today on Win 10. FYI the one by Giacomo Mosca worked, certainly and immediately - for a single folder. The one by Fahad Mahmood did not work. – MicrosoftShouldBeKickedInNuts – 2020-02-06T19:43:23.443
