c:\ drive not searched

Post by surfer »

I have the latest 64-bit beta version (v 1.3.3.658). I tried both portable and regular installations, but it does appear to show me any files from the C:\ drive in the search window, and the Options dialogue for NTFS Indexes shows the checkbox greyed out for Enable USN Journal, even when I ran the program as admin.

I am having exactly the same Problem. I was seaching for an .exe file that i know exists and it wasn't found. Not even the first three lettrs of the file were found. This was very disturbing until I read this post. I am running Windows 8.1 Pro final Edition.

Hello.

Can you try to Run as administrator.

Right Click on the 'Search Everything' or 'Everything' icon, select Run as administrator.

*The Enable USN Journal option should be available and already selected.

I noticed this hiccup on another computer (Win7 32bit), but not my own Win7 64-bit. Perhaps an update from MS and a permission change?

Please reply with your results.

I did exactly as you said and it worked.
The Enable USN Journal was selected as you said.
What is the USN Journal anyways?
Can you inform me when you have a fix that alows
it to work as non-admisistrator.

Thanks

If you check the box Everything Service under General in Options, you should not need to start with admin privilege.

Running as administrator DID NOT fix the problem for me either! STILL 0 objects!

I'm having the same problems running Everything v 1.3.3.658 on a Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium OS.

I just opened Everything for the first time since it was installed. At that time, it searched my hard drive and found all the files. However, now I see nothing except the C: drive listed. I tried to force a rebuild to no avail.


In your FAQ's troubleshooting section here, you write http://www.voidtools.com/faq.htm:

To manually enable all local NTFS volumes for indexing:
1. In Everything, On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Volumes tab.
3. For each volume in the Local NTFS volumes list:


I don't have a Volumes tab, but rather an Index tab which leads to the NTFS volumes. Like the others, my USN journal is ghosted and unable to be checked. I've tried starting the Windows Search service and re-starting Everything but still get the same results.

Update to my previous message. I tried a previous suggestion and ran the program as administrator, started the Everything service and the program started scanning.

Do both the Windows Search service and the Everything service have to be started and set to Automatic? Can one or the other be disabled?

Please detail the services setup in the FAQ's if they're not already there.
