Contents of a specific folder cannot be searched

As the screenshot shows, contents except the subfolders of the LosslessCut folder can't be searched. The folder is not in the exclude list.
I've managed to deal with this specific folder by copying the folder as LosslessCut2, deleting the original folder, and renaming LosslessCut2 to LosslessCut. But I don't know what other folders in the system have the same problem.

Everything 1.4 doesn't track hard links.
It's possible LosslessCut was a hardlink at some stage.

If LosslessCut was ever in your recycle bin or other excluded folder, Everything will not re-add this folder when it is undeleted or moved from an excluded folder.



If the issue occurs again, see if Everything can find the LosslessCut folder (search for: g:\LosslessCut )

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.
-or-
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /reindex g:
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, Everything will reindex your G: drive.
