Thanks for the bug report.

Have you excluded any folders or files from Tools -> Options -> Exclude?
If this file was ever in an excluded folder it may remain excluded.

Is the issue reproducible? -If so, could you please send some debug logs.

Everything 1.4.1.935 addresses some issue where NTFS files were being missed.

Please try forcing a rebuild:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Click Force Rebuild.
  • Click OK.

What search term are you using?
Are you typing ae literally or are you using the "ash" character?

On my end, English, æ looks to "translate" to 'a'.
Actually, Æ finds both æ & a.

> Uppf Æ finds both:

default-suppfiles.ini
and
fjölvar og fleira - Uppfæri LibreOffice.odt

> Uppfæri

Finds only, fjölvar og fleira - Uppfæri LibreOffice.odt

> Uppf ae (literal a & e)

Finds nothing.
Heh. So why didn't I bother looking at the second screenshot?
