Weird search results

Post by Ophelia »

Hi there,

Everything was working fine with me for many years, just a few days ago a weird problem arose. I was searching for an existing folder and there were no results. Then I noticed weird files and file pathes on the home page. All these f/f/ folders that actually don't exist on my hard disk. I attached a screenshot.

Could someone explain what's wrong??

Possibly a corrupt database.

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.
