Post subject:  Menu Search Missing Redirected Documents or Offline Files

Hi, I'm not sure if this is an intended behaviour, but if I search for a file which is in a redirected folder (which is available offline) then the search box yields no results. "No items match your search".
Now if I click on "see more results" it opens the explorer window and my searched files are all there.

If I search for something which has not been redirected, it finds it instantly.

Is there anything I can do to change this so my search shows in the start bar search box?

What do you mean "redirected folder"?

We use a gpo to move our users folders to a central store, but they keep a copy on their pc so they can still access the files when not on the network - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/lib ... 49078.aspx

The search doesn't work well with offline files. That's because the CSC search connector generates bogus URLs. Explorer has some internal hacks to correctly resolve them to local files instead of doing them via the search system. The details are undocumented and convoluted so I decided to not support it.

Instead of using search, you can add shell:::{AFDB1F70-2A4C-11d2-9039-00C04F8EEB3E} which is the Offline Files folder as a Custom Item with cascading submenus to the Classic Start Menu.
