Everything didn't show file correctly

Post by Edwardorange1909 »

Hi, I'm having a problem with Everything. It's not searching everything. I have an album on my computer called Artpop, The Fame. I type Artpop, it finds nothing. I type fame, finds nothing. You don't even have to tell me Everything doesn't search within files for tags, I was typing words in the filenames of files and it still didn't find jack.

I tried searching for random other things too, no luck. When it first runs, it says updating database and then shows that it has over 139,000 files. That's strange, I have a zillion files on my computer. I have nearly 2 terabytes and I find it hard to believe it collectively amounts to 139,000 files. Can someone tell me why it's not working?

I figured I might have a problem with permissions. I have my harddrives shared and I have it set so that it locks everyone out except for me and administrators on this PC. I even tried setting a permission so that Everyone has access and it didn't change anything. Everything still showed 139,000 files. I'm on Windows 10 and WiFi is always promoted using 'theoretical' speeds and by this standard 802.11ac is capable of 1300 megabits per second (Mbps) which is the equivalent of 162.5 megabytes per second (MBps). This is 3x faster than the typical 450Mbps speed attributed to 802.11n

Thanks,
-Ed
