I've noticed that the search is not functioning quite correctly. In this location:

C:\GEGeek_Toolkit\ProgramFiles\AV Uninstallers\AV Uninstall Tools\Tools

These folders are displayed



When in the search if I type any of those words, none are displayed. Any reason for this?

Hi Jason.

SyMenu search tool, doesn't search among all the folders and files under its root folder (in your case GEGeek_Toolkit) but it can search files only among the indexed folders.

Let's try this.
You have to add a logical item called Linked folder and point it to your root folder or better to a subfolder such as .\ProgramFiles\AV Uninstallers\AV Uninstall Tools\Tools
Now you have a logical item that maps a part of your file system, browsable from inside SyMenu.
But for now this element is only browsable in dynamic mode from the context menu, it means folder by folder. If you want its content is fully searchable instead, you have to flag the linked folder as Searchable (it's one of the flag available for this element). Now the entire content of your folder is indexed and appears in the SyMenu search.

Remember that searching among files and searching among logical items are two different tasks for SyMenu. So you have to instruct SyMenu to search in FS ( see this paragraph in the manual https://www.ugmfree.it/SyMenuManual.aspx#SearchItems4 ).
Why this kind of distinction?
To speed up the search and grant a dynamic retrieving of new files.

Ahhh so if I just add that Link to folder and click searchable that will do the job. Cheers.
