In Windows 7 or Windows 8, we have seen the high usability of search engine indexing to find important files in folders in our directories (Local Disks). Windows 11 also comes up with this feature. The search engine provides optimum search results in the user’s folder (basically located on hard drives), E-Mails, Start Menu and OneDrive folder (offline files and folders locally stored in the hard drive).
As the search mechanism yields better results in Windows 11, sometimes we get results like broken results or missing files in the search result page. If the search is not up to expectations or it is having difficulties during execution, you can easily solve its searching issues by using the search troubleshooter or rebuilding the search engine index manually.
