Guest jdevola Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 This I find rather peculiar: When searching for files (e.g., *.*), search results window displays duplicate listing of same file (name, size, all attributes the same; location exactly the same!) Each file is apparently the same file (if open both, one opens; if delete one, both get deleted; if recover from recycle bin, both reappear in search window) listed twice in search window. I just noticed this recently, so it may be related to programs I've recently installed. What is going on here? Can this be fixed somehow? Anybody ever seen this before? Thanks in advance. -jd

Guest jdevola Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Re: duplicate listing of files in search results window Hi Ramesh- Well, typically I access search from the Start button. In this case I believe I searched for the term "phone" in all local hard drives. I just tried to recreate this, but only one copy of the previously duplicated file comes up now. So, no is the answer to your question (I searched 3 local partitions). I'll try a few more searches tonight and see what happens. -jd "Ramesh Srinivasan, MS-MVP" wrote: > Hi jd, > > Does this problem occur when searching a *particular* folder? > > -- > Regards, > > Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] > The Winhelponline Blog http://www.winhelponline.com/blog > > > "jdevola" <jdevola@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:4458AD2D-FA9D-415A-881D-F84638B902DD@microsoft.com... > > This I find rather peculiar: When searching for files (e.g., *.*), search > > results window displays duplicate listing of same file (name, size, all > > attributes the same; location exactly the same!) > > > > Each file is apparently the same file (if open both, one opens; if delete > > one, both get deleted; if recover from recycle bin, both reappear in > > search > > window) listed twice in search window. > > > > I just noticed this recently, so it may be related to programs I've > > recently > > installed. > > > > What is going on here?

Let's know how it works. IIRC, this is a search index issue and excluding the subject folder and including it back again to the index helps. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] The Winhelponline Blog http://www.winhelponline.com/blog "jdevola" <jdevola@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4C3876B5-37B7-4A3C-BD5C-788EECA28863@microsoft.com... > Hi Ramesh- > Well, typically I access search from the Start button.
