Why does when I search my picture folder for Johnny, it bring back pictures of johnny and hundreds of unrelated photos and floders without the word johnny...?

image searches are far from perfect Windows MVP, XP, Vista, 7. Expanding into Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL Server, SharePoint etc. My page on Video Card Problems is now my most popular landing page. My Page on SSD is now #2. See my gaming site for game reviews etc. Developer | Windows IT | Chess | Economics | Hardcore Games | Vegan Advocate | PC Reviews

Hi, Did you search picture in Start\Search Box or Computer\Search bar? Please try to rebuild index on your Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-advanced-indexing-options Please note: it will take a bit long time to rebuild index.

Computer\search c:\users\shaun\pictures A search for "shaun" brings back lots of shaun and plenty unrelated pix and folders A search for shaun*.jpg did the trick, just don't know why the above brought back so much junk. Thanks I will rebuild the index when I hit the sack.

If you have rebuilt the index, please feel free to let know.
