This folder will then automatically become indexed. So you can either create a new library or you can go into an existing library by right clicking, go to Properties and add a folder.
When you add a folder to one of your libraries, it will instantly make it part of the index because Windows Explorer automatically indexes all of your libraries.
There are two easy ways to do this, adding a folder to a library or adding one directly to the index. If you moved something around or have some things stored in another location on your drive, then you will want to add folders to your index so that the desktop search will go looking within those folders as well. It will go through your Start Menu, the User Folder, and any of your offline files. Windows desktop search in Windows 7 has a general idea of which locations and folders need to be indexed. You might want the rebuild to run when you are not using the computer, as it could slow down your PC a bit while the process is taking place. Indexing will take some time, but once it is complete, you shouldn’t have any further problems with Windows 7 search not working (for now).
