>> I am searching for either or both. File names and text within files,
both searches result in zero matches. For example, if I create a text
file named "test.txt", and fill it with the word "test" repeatedly,
rebuild the index, leave the computer on overnight, come back once
indexing is complete, and search for "test" in that folder, I get zero
results.
