Re: Indexing service isn't indexing a particular file under docume

Hi, Zicksen.

Great! I'm glad it worked. Thanks for the report back.

But, what worked? Correcting the file extension? Or just waiting for the
index to update?

(Some other user with a similar question might be able to use your
experience.)
