Vista - Search function in the Start Menu

Lise · 01-26-2008

I have successfylly searced for files by using the search field in the Start Menu. But after having moved a folder from my personal folder to our shared folder I no longer get any hits when I search for documents in the folder that I moved. I suppose I have to take some kind of action to make things work again - but I don't know what to do. Can someone please help me?

Hi Lise,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

You will just need to add the new location to the Index so it will be included in the search results. It may take it a bit ti update itself unless you click on "Rebuild" after adding the location. This will show you how.
