Some paths are not being searched

Post by Skez »

Hey there everyone! First of all I have to say that this is probably the best software I have installed on my computer at the moment, and ever has. :D

Anyhow, lately I have been having some problems with the searching. I have an SSD, an internal hard drive and two external USB-drives. All disks are being searched but it seem some paths aren't. Everything doesn't find everything. I can clearly see that all disks are being searched but only some files show up and when I use the normal Windows search (I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64) the files are showing but slowly, as you know how slow the default search function is.

I haven't changed anything in the settings, it is all as it was when installed. Also I just now checked for updates and updated it to the new version but I still have the same issue. In other words, this issue was the same with the last version and the latest version.

Any clues anyone?

Sincerely,
Skez

That's the thing. I have yet to figure out what paths aren't included. On one disk I have one ridiculously long path with symbols like $ and @ in them and those are searched. Things not being searched are let's say D:\ (some stuff on D:\ are being searched), but then for example D:\Classic Rock\Bo Hansson\...(albums here) are not being searched.
This is pretty frustrating since I'm mostly using Everything to search for single tracks. :/
