core looks like a folder junction.

Everything does not follow folder junctions with NTFS indexing.



Please consider indexing your D: drive as a folder index to include all folder junctions:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left
  • Select D:
  • Uncheck Include in database.
  • Click the Folders tab on the left.
  • Click Add....
  • Select D: and click OK.
  • Click OK.
Folder indexing will include all folder junctions.



To check the target of the folder junction:
  • From the Start menu, open a command prompt.
  • Navigate to this core folder, for example:
    cd d:\...\bisheng-plugin\node_modules\@babel
  • Run the following command:
    dir /ad
  • What is shown for core?
