Problem Description

Hi there,
When I search some folders and files that are not hidden or excluded in the "Search index", they are not shown. I use the "Explorer plugin" not "Everything".
Can this issue be fixed??

Flow Launcher Version

v1.9.5

Windows Build Number

10.0.19044.2130

If there is no fix for this, can I make "Everything plugin" like "Explorer"? "Explorer" has a great feature of searching subfolders, i.e. when I search a folder and click it, it doesn't open the folder in a window, but it searches its subfolders and files like this https://imgur.com/a/tpFxf4g

Thanks for replying. So, this will fix the search issue, but will not affect the Explorer feature explained above??

This is for merging explorer and everything so you can search with everything service but using explorer feature.

Okay, that you so much for help.
@taooceros Will it be added soon?

[taooceros]

It should be included in the next major release. However we are approaching it slowly. I wouldn't say when will it be released. Once we finish that pr, i will notify you.

By the way the reason explorer cannot search some folder is because windows doesn't index all folder by default. You can check what is being index by opening the index option.

It's the context menu for explorer plugin.

You can check what is being index

I checked it, but the folders that are not searched are indexed, not excluded.

Can you see if those folders come up with windows start menu search, golden rule for files and folder search, Explorer plugin results should mirror start menu because they both use Windows search indexed data. If it doesn't come up in windows start menu search, then even though it is ticked in windows search index, maybe index data needs a rebuild.
