Solved Index Search Funtion in Start Menu does not work

Search Funtion in Start Menu does not work.

My individual Search option does not work. The Search Everywhere does work. When I put in an entry in the Start Search box, such as Malwarebytes, Norton, etc. I do get listings of their programs. But I do not get listings of the Folders and Files I have created under those names. The same is true for other programs and folders. This is what I have done:

1. Rebuild my Index.
2. Ran SFC /scannow and Check Disk.
3. Ran a Microsoft Fix-It “How to reset user options and registry settings in Word #50599.

I use Vista Home Premium.

Thanks,

After my original post I decided to take another approach. I was hoping to repair my issue with some sort of fix that would not be time consuming such as reinstalling Windows. So I did the next best thing. I use Norton Ghost and decided to pick a date when I thought my system would be clean and recover my C drive on that date. As it turns out, the date I picked was successful and when I did the recover process my problem was resolved and my Search feature now works.
