Why is my database getting corrupted so frequently?

[JerryWithaJ]

The subject header says it all. I don't use a music manager. mp3s, generally with title and artist in their file names, are in a file structure of my own preference in My_Music. I use Everything to locate specific files.

But take last night, for example. I was looking for a specific mp3 and entered the performer's last name. Nothing! I've seen this before, so I deleted the database, let Everything reconstruct it, reran my search, and...Voila!

This seems to be happening a lot. lately. I switched from 1.2.1.371 to 1.3.0.632b hoping things would be better, but now that the beta is running for a few days, the same problem keeps occurring.

I know there are issues with Dropbox (the file from last night was not in Dropbox, but it was in a Cubby). My Exclude list says to include
c:\
c:\<Dropbox folder>

Otherwise, Win XP/Pro SP3

Any thoughts? Any other information I could provide to help track this down?

Thanks!

Verify that you don't have something like Match Whole Word or Match Case selected?
Run a CHKDSK on your drive?
See if there happens to be any related Errorlog.txt in the Everything directory?
