James7 Posts: 5 14/07/2023	James7 Posts: 5 I'm a new user and trying to find how the program works, but in particular the Search function. I looked at the manual, but I think that my question was not answered or perhaps I didn't understand how it works. I'm using the zip package which I extracted to a test directory on my C drive where I run Windows 11. Firstly, does SyMenu find folders on my PC? Secondly, if I test search for "test" I get a result of a document that contains the word "test" in its file name using the FS option and under SY and DS another (text) document that contains the word "test" in the body of the file, However, the response under FS does not apparently look fully into my C drive, but only in one of my external drives. For example, I put a file named test.txt in another of my external drives and SyMenu does not find it with Search. It also doesn't find it on my C drive.

On a disk root you have for sure a system folder called System Volume Information and you are not allowed to enter or enumerate the content of that one. When SyMenu tries to read that folder, it crashes the search entirely. Anyway I will fix it sometime because it's a bug even if I suggest you not use SyMenu for this kind of indexing. SyMenu doesn't cache the FS searches so everytime you want to search for something in a large file list (C:\ and subs for example) it'll take a lot of time. For this kind of use, think about other tools more specialized in file system tasks.
