Suddenly no search

#1

My search stopped working all of a sudden, a couple days ago I think. I do TV > Search > Title and start typing search terms. No matter what, I get "No results were found."

Anyone else seeing this? Weird.

Most likely related to the Windows search index. It may be corrupted or perhaps it is no longer indexing WMC data for some reason.

The simple thing to do is to rebuild the index, but you should first check to make sure that WMC is one of the items that are being indexed.

In the "Indexing options" window, you should see "Windows Media Center" listed as one of the items being indexed, if not, then it was somehow removed and needs to be added back.

If it is not listed there, add it back with the info described in this thread.
