Can't find file

Post by Stuckster »

Everything is having trouble finding a file that exists in my Google Drive.
Windows Explorer is able to find the file using the same search.

I have tried reindexing the Google Drive (I:) twice, but no change.

Under Tools > Options > General >
- Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything is checked
- Run as administrator is unchecked
- Everything Service is fully checked

Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.

Please make sure these files are not excluded from Tools -> Options -> Exclude.

Is Everything still missing the file?

Thank you.

The video filter was selected from a previous search!
I feel so silly.
Will make sure to watch out for that in future. :roll:

Any search affecting options are shown in the status bar on the right.
VIDEO would be shown.

Please consider setting your home filter:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Home tab on the left.
  • Set Filter to: Everything
  • Click OK.
