While recently trying to located some lost files, I noticed that my Windows Explorer search was not functioning properly. As a test, I typed in a file I knew existed in a location:

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\11.0\Profile\Layouts\WorkspaceConfig.xml

so I typed this in the search field in Windows Explorer (searching the entire C drive), and the search results came back empty.

I ran a second test on C drive for another random file and the same thing happened. No results.

Can anyone explain this, and what I might do to go about fixing it?
