I have a Windows 10 Enterprise ver 1909 that will search local drives from the Explorer search box but will not search any of the network drives from different servers. Other users on the domain can search them. Looking for ideas please.

    Hi,

    You need to add the network drives to the Index.

    1. Right-click on the network drive and click on Properties

    2. Check Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties
