Search shows 2 versions of same document

Post by gazmoz17 »

Hi,

When searching (mostly excel files in my use case) I have 2 instances of the same file each time as a returned search?

Any help much appreciated.

Please remove your G: drive and C: drive under Tools -> Options -> Folders.

These volumes are already included under Tools -> Options -> FAT/NTFS.
