| | Windows Search is broken in Windows Explorer A picture speaks a thousand words, right? So I have uploaded a screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephenmok/488280396/ If I search from within an existing Windows Explorer window (using the search box in the top-right), it works fine. If I search from the Start Menu, it also displays the results in the Start Menu itself fine. Search in Outlook also works. BUT if I open the Start Menu to search and then click the "See all results" link, I get 5 blank files displayed in the results area that I can't interact with in any way. (what the above screenshot shows). If I open the Start Menu, click on Search, and then search using the search box, I also get the same error. I've restored by Indexing Options to the default settings and rebuilt the database, but I still get the same thing. What gives? |

| | RE: Windows Search is broken in Windows Explorer I have the same results and re-posted just a moment ago. I hope an "MVP" will have something for us right away. This is a huge reason I use Vista in the first place, so if it is broken, I'll be switching search programs ASAP. -- D. Gonz "Cryptarcadian" wrote: > A picture speaks a thousand words, right?
