Cannot search by file name

[Guest]

I am trying to find where an application is putting a file. I know indexed
searches are great, but I always get either no files or many totally
unrelated files. To see what is going on, I go to DOCUMENTS under my user
name and copy the name of a .pdf document. I go to search and paste that
name in the search field. Searching indexed or all files, I never find that
file. pdf files are checked in the indexed files selection and users is in
the indexed path.

I have checked "always search file names and contents." I had also tried
"Don't use the index..." and could not find any files even then.

This worked for me. Many thanks.

I also sent your next suggestion to my e-mail address in case I need to do
that. The concept of indexing is good; so far, however, the performance has
not. I feel the product should have assumed you want to search everywhere by
default and point you to help if you want to index.

Anyway, thanks.
