I had that problem. The solution is simple. Make sure you take ownership of
all the files on your machine (easiest done on the drive level). Also right
click on the mag glass next to the search box in the start menu, select
properties, customize start menu, scroll down to search files, select the
Search entire index button.
Also, what may indeed be a bug, ownership set to "Everyone", is NOT the same
as set to a specific user name. I had set some folders to "Everyone", and
index couldn't find them. Once I set them to the "user" name I am logged in
as, they indexed and popped up instantly on the search.
