MS Office File Search Not Working
When I "search for a file" under the open command in MS Office, the file search returns everything but the file I'm looking for. I have to type in the entire file name in order to be able to click on...
I thought related to the areas:
- Windows Search integration: Office file open dialog uses the same backend as Windows Search
- Default behavior: Search indexes both file names and file contents. For Office documents, the IFilter components extract text inside the file, which can cause unrelated matches to appear
- Name issue: When typing only part of a file name, the search algorithm may rank content matches higher than filename matches
