Rebuilt Index After Removing All Folder Index
Jan 1, 2009
Im new to vista and have looked over this forum but cant seem to find an answer to my issue...which is: I open "Computer" then press on "Searches" (on the left) and then open "Everywhere" which returns 5,000 results...PLEASE how do i clear this list. I have rebuilt the index after removing ALL folders etc to index...now displays ZERO indexed items.
I have then turned indexing off completely on all drives (right click/properties/untick indexing option and select ALL files and subfolders)...and via admin tools/services/windows search (disabled after stopping service) I have rebooted and still thousands of results come up under: Searches/Everywhere Its driving me nuts

I've been surfing the web for ages and tried many fixes I've been reading, including this one, to address my specific problem. Yours is a GREAT tutorial, by the way. But it does not work for me. My problem is that the Vista search box won't find ANY file under my Documents folder. I have selected "index this folder" under the properties of the folder but it won't work. If I go to control panel the only folder that is included is "Users", but does this mean "c:users" or not? I have no clue! if I try to manually add a folder from this control panel / indexing window I can not navigate to "c:usersmy_user_namedocuments" folder because it does not show up as you can see on this screen capture! what the hell is going on? I am already thinking of reinstalling the whole system but I'd like to know how I went into this situation or else I risk doing the same again.

If I use "start search" and look for something that might be in program files/email/web history/etc then I can type in a couple of chars and it's up there in the results. I have a folder of MP3 music and if I search for something (in the title) I get no results. The folder is marked as "Index this folder for faster searching" so why does it not get included in the search?

This morning my computer started issuing security alerts notifying me that the firewall was off as was the malware. I turn the firewall on but under the malware section it indicates that it is reporting to the security centre in a format that is no longer supported. It also has a little Not Compatible icon to the right of the malware icon on the left. Once the firewall is turned on and the malware turns from red to yellow when we turn it on the shield in the bottom right of the screen goes yellow for a while but eventually it goes red again and I am again notified that the firewall is off and the malware is off as well.
I know my subscription is still in effect and according to the system it expires 10/03/2010.

my vista Home Premium has yet again got the index/search not working. Start/Control panel/ Index Options, gives me a dialogue box that says the index is not running and all the other functions are greyed out. I have had this before and found that I had to reinstall Vista (a fix was expected early 08) I believe it is being caused by my external hard drive being removed and the drive no longer is available to the Index?.
I have tried the "0 in SetupCompletedSuccessfully" fix, and copying the
gathrprm.txt and schema.txt files to the configure Folder.I have a Sony VGN-FZ11z fully updated with Vista Home Premium. I really dont want to reinstall again.

This is a known bug according to several Internet sources. So how can I DISABLE indexing of network shares? I have a network share which has like 200 folder/sub-folders, and everytime I access it, it works for a second or two, then it hangs windows explorer, sometimes hanging my whole PC (explorer.exe)!!!
And I know it is doing this because the root folder only has like 20 sub-folders, all of which I can clearly see listed, but when I do a Wireshark capture (tcpdump), I see all the sub-folders and files being listed, so I know it must be spidering the share and indexing everything. The worst part is, this share is on a NetApp, so there are .hourly and .daily and .weekly and .monthly snapshots of all my data.. In all, it is several dozen gigabyes of files, folders, and sub-folders, all of which Vista is "attempting" to index, but cannot/store. how to turn off indexing? Heck, I'd be happy with NO (not even local) indexing just to avoid this damned problem again and again. No known ETA on a fix from MSFT, from what I can find.. Which is a shame!

when I powered up my Vista I noticed that it was unusually slow and all of a sudden, it froze for no apparent reason. I rebooted [by pressing reset on case as keyboard wouldn't respond] and booted into XP and ran chkdsk on the Vista partition. Sure enough, it found two errors but in the index area. Here's the output of DOS window:
Code: C:>chkdsk /r d:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is NEW_C.
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 5)...
File verification completed.
CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 5)...
Deleting index entry SBEServer.exe in index $I30 of file 1153.
Deleting index entry SonicMCEBurnEngineIcon.png in index $I30 of file 1153.
Index verification completed..................

I have windows Vista which had 2Gb of memory. The index was 5.2, that was the memory score. I have added another 2Gb. As its a 32bit OS only 3.5 GB is detected, but when I updated my windows experience the score went down for 5.2 to 5.

Is there a way to increase the max WEI score to something higher than 5.9 in Vista? I don't mean the xml file hack where you can change the number for each category to anything you want, but rather an increase on the maximum limit (currently 5.9) that the WEI can display. Maybe change it to something around Win7's level? Is this possible?

I'm just wondering how the 2x 1GB 5-5-5-18 2T DDR2-4200(Scores 5.9) in my mums computer scores more than my 4x1GB 4-3-3-10 1T DDR2-6400(Scores 5.4). The timings have made no difference to the score when I have changed them and I can play modern games perfectly. Could it be due to my processor(Core 2 Duo Quad) or my motherboard(Fatal1ty IN-9 SLI)? An overall rating of 5.4 for my computer seems a tad low since it's all top of the range components.

My "Graphics" and "Gaming Graphics" ratings are both 1.0. What do I need to do to increase them? I also get a warning message when trying to play any games that reads: "Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow game performance. Make sure you have the latest
video card driver installed and that hardware acceleration is turned on." How do I check the video card driver and where do I go to download the latest version?

I have a folder under my user profile folder, let's name it folder1. It's the same level as documents, pictures, etc. It is indexed. Index has been complete.
This is the weird behavior:
when i go to folder1 and search nothing appears. It's blatantly a bug because I search a text in the first filename i see yet it still turns out nothing!
But when I search from my user profile folder, it finds something from folder1.
I have rebuilt the index many times over.

I'm running Vista x64 and Outlook (Office) 2007. I've used Outlook's "Data File Management" menu to re-locate my .pst files to a separate drive (a raid array) so they wouldn't be on my boot drive. However, since that move, the Indexing function doesn't seem to be working. I have tried using the Index Service "advanced" options to "rebuild" the index, and it finishes in under a minute, clearly not having processed my .pst files. Is there a "more advanced" function hidden somewhere that will enable me to tell the Index service that my pst files aren't in the standard location?

I have added D:Music to the index locations in Indexing Options. It is displaying the message Indexing Complete however when i search for files that I know exist in this folder it doesn't find them. Most of the files are MP3s and I have checked that they are included in the types of files to be indexed.

When I go to indexing options only 17 objects are indexed even though I've been using the computer for hours. I tried to do a rebuild but nothing is happening. For instance, in Outlook the search is not working and it says I have 9850 objects still to index. I had to do a system repair with the repair DVD earlier on.

I'm using Vista Home Premium 32bit and here's my problem: I'm trying to resolve some issues I'm having with finding files within folders on my computer. For instance, when I open a folder and type the name of some files into the "Search Box" (be it an .mp3 or .jpg) no matter what part of certain file names I type in, for some reason Search cannot find them even though I know for sure that the folder contains the file I'm looking for. But interestingly, when I type whatever file names that couldn't be found in the previous way into the search box at the bottom of the start menu it can locate the file. Why is this? I forgot to add, I've also tried rebuilding the index which didn't resolve the problem.

The results of the Windows Experience Index are stored in an XML file that you can modify to spoof your score. Who wants to show off a 2.1 system? Let’s make that a 9.9 powerhouse....

I am thinking of rebuilding the search index. I have noticed that the search

I just added more RAM to my machine. I went back to the index to update, and nothing was there. It showed my old score, which needed to be updated, but there weren't any other graphics on the page. Anyone seen this problem before?

my computer is lacking in the graphic area. Hence the score of a 3.0 I went to my computers site (HP) and found out that my graphics and gaming graphics is integrated, thus the low score.
