In windows 10, I can't get the start menu's search to show a lot of files that I've recently opened or created (i.e. files on a drive other than the OS drive) when I type the first couple or few letters of the file's name.
I'm comparing it to windows 7's search, which worked beautifully. Example: if I created a new xslx file and save it on drive X:, when I pressed start and typed the first letters of that file's name, it would show up in the search.
In windows 10, it doesn't show up even if I type the entire file's name.
Of course, I don't want to index my entire drives - what I assume windows 7 did differently was to index files that I recently opened.
In any case, how do I make the search stop being so crappy? I now have to remember where I placed most of my files. That becomes difficult, and trying to find them when I forget is tedious. Sometimes I have to search my entire drive!
I've been searching for a while and I haven't found a solution; forgive me if I've missed it.
