SE not searching everything!

Post by waynereed »

Recently DLd current version. And it was working fine.

Been using SE for a decade. Suddenly . . . it's not searching all drives! I have 2 internal drives and 2 peripheral drives.
It recently stopped searching my main "E" peripheral. Only searching the 2 internal drives.

I've scoured HELP and settings, etc. Can't find the problem. Also hit the "return to default settings". Didn't help.

Problem for me is, my E drive is my main storage drive and use is constantly.

Any help appreciated!

Please make sure your peripheral drive is included in your index:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab on the left.
  • Click Add....
  • Select your peripheral drive and click OK.
  • Click OK.


If that doesn't help, please try forcing a rebuild:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Click Force Rebuild.
  • Click OK.
