Windows 11 - File Explorer - Search Contents fails
Yesterday I updated my 3 day old laptop to Windows 11. Today I moved some files into the My Documents folder, then I went to the upper right corner of File Explorer and entered the word I wanted to ...
Same issue, I upgraded to Windows 11 on 2 home computers which I use often to search for content in a WORD file, looking for a city name or job name. Had no issues for years. After upgrading both computers to Windows 11 the search no longer works in File Explorer or in WORD. I have repeatedly confirmed "search content" is checked, I have rebooted, I have checked for and installed Windows updates, I have rebuilt my index on both systems, I have checked for errors on Search, etc. Nothing works. I am ready to downgrade back to Windows 10 if I can't figure this out this week. Does anyone have any useful info, my google searches turn up a bunch of non-starters.
