Here is my list of files enter image description here

Here is the result of search enter image description here

Also crossposted to https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-files/windows-is-not-finding-my-file/49909b75-da38-4f94-bb75-ccdcd47680e6.

I don't have index turned on but this seems ridiculous. Also how do I know when a search is done?

  • You turn on indexing. That is what allows Windows to find your files

    This link has the most comprehensive info on search operators: [](docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/search/…). You can also specify the property you are searching to increase search efficiency. ~~ or ~= is the value contains operator for strings, so you could use: name:~~2p4 Apr 12, 2022 at 7:04
