Search does not find a file in one profile, but does in the second profile.
Why can't the file be found?

Don't type the body of your post below your sig line. It gets stripped
out by many newsreaders.

1. You're looking in the wrong place.

2. The file you're looking for is a system or hidden file and one
profile is configured to search for such files and the other is not. In
the Search pane, click on "More advanced options" (which also has the
check box to "Search subfolders" which might be unselected in profile 2).

There could have been a second explanation for a file search to succeed
finding a particular file in one profile and not in another.

That is; the profile containing the file in question has been made
"private" (by 'checkmarking' the box "Make this folder private" under
the 'share' tab in the properties of any folder within a profile's
folder)

This resets the file and folder permissions for this and all sub-folders
and files so that the files within cannot be accessed or even "seen" by
another user.

Any file within such a folder would only come up in a search from being
logged in to that profile and would be omitted from being logged in to
any other profile (including Administrator).
