    Windows explore doesn’t show some or all search results
    « on: June 18, 2012, 03:32:08 PM »
    To prove I did following processes for several folders:
    I didn't limit search conditions for each folder e.g. it didn't depend on size, time of last modification, type and so on.
    I opened a folder. Then I did one of following actions:
    1: I copied part of or whole name of a file or folder.
    2: I copied part of a file's name which many folders and files have in common.
    I kept above folder open to match with list of search results.
    Then I chose the above folder for searching the copied text in other windows explorer.

    Items in the folder didn’t match the list of results.  Of course I encountered some exceptions randomly.
    what do you recommend?

    If the folder you created said file is in is still open Explorer will not see it...

      Exploer shows the file but if I search it with part of its name, the exploer doesn't show it. as before I said.

      saed,
      What is the point of this? Are you doing something practical or just doing some kind of experiment?

      Windows is, fundamentally, an Operating system, not a Database Manager.

      edit: Your picture shows a search for n nothing.
      If it found nothing, it is working perfectly.

        Yes, and you tell it nothing and it finds nothing. -Right?
        What is the problem?

          No there isn't...and your missing the point.
          Here's another test.. Open Explorer...create a new folder and create a new file in it...leave that window open...then run a search for the newly created file...

            No, its not random, if you search for the same file, in the same way, for 5 searches, it will find the file 5 times........
