Certain File is Not Indexed?

Post by sun1991 »

Try to find all "installutil.exe" on my disk, but seems one of them is missing from Everything search result: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe.

I installed .Net Framework 1.1, 2.0, 4.0, so there should be 3 of it: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\(v1.1.4322|v2.0.50727|v4.0.30319)\InstallUtil.exe.
see result here: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid ... 2116699761

But if I tried to search another file under C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727, it works.
see result here: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid ... 2116699761

Tried on both version 1.2.1.371 and 1.3.2.645b.
I have deleted Everything.db and search again, same result.

PS: Everything is great! :)

These are hard links.

Unfortunately, Everything will only index the first instance of a hard-link.

To check for hard links:

Code: Select all

fsutil hardlink list InstallUtil.exe
