How to Test Windows Search Indexing

Some users might find issues to query a catalog as it was previously possible with Content Indexing.

To verify if windows search is working and the files are being indexed:

1. Download the PowerShell script in this link.

2. Place the PowerShell script in the folder containing files you want to verify that can be indexed.

   Ensure the folder is in an indexed location.

3. Wait a few minutes to give Windows time to index the files.

4. Run the PowerShell script.

5. A dialog opens and requests a string to search for. Choose one of two options:

• To search for all the indexed files, leave the string field blank and press Enter.

  A list of the indexed files appears.

• To search for a specific test, enter a search string.

  A list of files where this search string was found appears.
