Search Only Shows Web Results

Sep 8, 2015

When I search for something in the search bar, now I am only getting web results. I am not getting computer related items. For example, if I search for printers, I only get web results about printers. I am not getting anything about the printers I have installed on this computer. This is a recent development. I guess I will add this to the list!

Search Does Not Display Any Results?

Oct 1, 2015

The title says everything. I rebuilt the index, moved it to another disk, rebuilt again without any result: no results in the search window.

Cortana is off and web searching is off. Even if web searching is on, there are no search results in the window.

This has never happened in any other Windows version since Windows 3.1 for Workgroups!

Retaining Search Box Results

Feb 10, 2016

I love Windows 10 but its Search Box functionality is a step backwards from Windows 7. As in Windows 7, is there a way to retain Search Box results so I can return to the results if the first file or folder I open isn't the one I want? This was easy in Windows 7 but I can't find a way to do it in Windows 10. The search box results disappear now after I load a file or folder so I have to perform another search from scratch.

Let me try to explain differently:

1. Click the Start button

2. In the search box, type "Microsoft"

3. Click "My Stuff" to limit the search to your computer

4. In the "Show" drop-down box, click "Documents"

5. Click "See All" and select a document

You'll notice that document opens but the search results window is lost so it's impossible to return to it if the first document isn't the one you want, necessitating another search from the beginning which is very frustrating. In Windows 7, the search results window would remain open in a minimized state so it could be activated to open additional documents.

Redundant Search Results?

Nov 11, 2015

How some of the search results just lead to the settings app opening with the name of the search result in its search bar, but nothing in the results of the app? What I'm talking about is, search up "Show me tips about windows", "turn auto brightness on or off" or "turn on device discovery".

How To Record Search Results

Nov 14, 2015

So I tend to have a habit of quickly typing an app name in the search box by the Start Button in Windows 10. This 99% of the time results in the app being the top answer and a simple return will open the program. However I find a program I have installed, Atom, shares it's name with a Windows/Dos command, and the command is in the top position that defaults to the return key, forcing me to use the mouse or the arrow key to press down 1 time to select the app. How can I reorder the search box to place Applications to the top result, rather than commands?

Can't Get Local Search Results On One Machine

Jul 31, 2015

Yesterday I upgraded two Dell laptops and my desktop machine to Windows 10.

1. Search - On my two Dell laptops if I search for, say, User Account Control, at the top of the search results I will get a local result saying Change User Account Control settings. That result will be in grey. But on my desktop machine, if I enter the same search, I don't get any grey result at the top. All I can get on that machine is web results. I don't know what's different. I have initialized Cortana on all three machines the same way (I think). Why I am not getting local results on the desktop machine?

2. One of my Dell laptops has a fingerprint reader. It was working for logins when I had Windows 7 on the machine. Now that I have Windows 10 on the machine I cannot figure out how to get the reader working again.

Search Results That Are Not Apps Are Not Selectable

Aug 24, 2015

I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit edition. I upgraded from Windows 8 pro.When I search for non-apps, such as "power options", the search results appear properly. However, when I click on the power options search result (with the icon), nothing happens. Clicking on "settings" and "windows mobility center" does work. And if I search for "control panel" and select the result, that works fine, since the search result is an app.

I've tried doing an in-place repair install of Windows 10 pro, but that didn't work. And I've tried deleting and rebuilding the search index.

As a workaround, I installed Stardock's Start10. Start10's search results work, but only from within it's own Windows 7 and Modern themes. for a Windows 10 function (such as device manager), from within Windows 10 native search function on the toolbar, isn't selectable unless what I search for is an app.

Search Everywhere Only Opens Files Not Web Results

Feb 10, 2016

This is referring to the blue "Search Everywhere" panel that slides out from the right, not Cortana or the Start Menu search box.

When I type into it, it'll list my local files on the top, then web results underneath. Clicking any listed local file will open that file, but clicking on any web results doesn't do anything.

Example: If I type in "ASUS", it'll show any file on my PC with ASUS in the name. Under those results, it then lists results from the web like the ASUS website and other ASUS related results like Google or Bing does. Any local document in the list will open from the search results, but no web links will open (nothing happens when clicked on).

Not sure why this is happening.

Search Results Aren't Quite Ready Yet

Dec 28, 2015

if my language settings are USA, then search in Settings works.But if I change the display language to British English, I get the well-known "Search results aren't quite ready yet, but we're working on getting them together".Cortana search works (although I may be prompted to set language when changing language as above).

I have tried to find every case where language settings need to be changed to British English, and downloaded UK language packs and speech. Even when everything I can find is set to UK English, search in Settings fails.However, if I revert to US English, it works.I have read fixes about turning Cortana off and reinstalling apps - but this is usually where both Cortana isn't working and this message appears. This does not seem to apply in my case, and surely it should not be necessary to do that merely to support changing language.

Can't Find Default Options In Search Results

Aug 20, 2015

Before upgrading, I could search for things like Device Manager or Driver Update, and I could locate it, now nothing turns up at all. Nothing for device manager. No results for "driver" I think before it had a result for driver updates by default.There are results for printer, which is nice. I know there should be something similar for Device Manager.

Search Can't Find Some Files Says These Results May Be Incomplete

Feb 23, 2016

When I "search my stuff" from the start menu, some files that I know to be indexed never show up in the results. And at the top of the search window, it reads: "These results may be incomplete, search is still indexing your stuff."

I've rebuilt the search index, which says it finished successfully, indexing 3000-something items, but the problem remains.

No Thumbnails Displayed In Photos Section Of Search Results

Jul 30, 2015

I got the free Windows 10 upgrade yesterday and everything seemed to work really well until I tried using the Search Bar.The problem is that although search results are returned (The indexing seems to be correct) the images displayed under the Photos section are mostly missing their thumbnails which makes the feature pretty useless.Some images have thumbnails but most don't and it isn't any specific file type that does or not display it just seems random.

Start Menu Search - Unwanted Results Shown

Sep 2, 2015

Search in Windows new start menu is annoying, each time web search using bing results are also shown, which is really unwanted.

Using :: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Search
We can enable the following 3 options to disable web search:

Do not allow web search
Don’t search the web or display web results in Search
Don’t search the web or display web results in Search over

However, as usual I'm looking for a way to do this via registry.

Deleted Files Keep Coming Up In Start Menu Search Results?

Feb 10, 2016

Many times when I search from the Start Menu, results come up for files that have been deleted or moved but the old path is listed in the results (so that clicking it throws me a "File cannot be found" type error).

I first noticed this when I moved a folder of PDF manuals to a new location. The titles of these files will come up when searching from the Start Menu but the paths are linked to the original locations and so Windows can't "find" the file when I click on it in the search results.

I did a CCleaner sweep of my system and even tried rebuilding the search index but cannot correct this nonsense. What's going on?

Apps :: Windows Search Returning No Results On One Of External Hard Drives

Oct 15, 2015

Windows Search returning no results on one of my external harddrives. I have already:

Tried indexing the HDD and rebuilding.Non-indexing and rebuilding.Indexing only specific folders on the HDD and rebuilding.Specifically disabling indexing for this drive in the drive's properties.Checked that I have the appropriate permissions on the drive (they are identical to my other HDDs).

Crude example of my problem:

I am looking for the following file, A:Example est.txt.I am inside the A:Example folder.I search for "test", "*" or "txt".It says there are no results.

And it says "no results" instantly - it doesn't appear to even try.

I do not have a second drive with sufficient space to move the contents to do a format - so I'm looking for non-destructive solutions.

Nothing Shows On Taskbar / Can't Use Search Or Start Button

Jan 2, 2016

I'm running Windows 10 and have been since it was first released. This morning I was playing a game, and my sound stopped working, so I rebooted my computer to see if that would fix it. It fixed the problem, but I had no icons pinned on my taskbar, no time & date, and the search and start button would not work. After hard-booting the computer for a second time, there was still nothing. When I open a program the icon doesn't show on the taskbar.

Doesn't apply to:

Updates :: Update Results In All Settings And Documents Lost

Nov 21, 2015

First of all I'll make a complaint. I am very disappointed with Windows 10. It's been one of the worst Windows ever made and sooner or later I will switch from Windows to some normal OS sofware. I have been let down too many times by it (not just 10 but all of the former as well) and I decided it's simply not worth my time, money and nerves.

Today Windows decided to do an upgrade on my computer and when I turned it on it said it was preparing something. After the welcome screen, I realized all my documents on the desktop have been missing, including majority of the shortcuts.

All the settings have been reverted, including theme, desktop image, default programs. In short, there's not much left untouched.

What's utterly intolerable it somehow deleted ALL my personal documents, pictures, literally EVERYTHING is lost. I just can't put up with it anymore. There were several files I need for my work, everything is simply gone.
