Rebuilding the indexing database worked for me! Rebuild it from zero. Then try.
To rebuild it:
- Click Start
- Search for "index" and then select "Indexing Options"
- Click "Advanced".
- Click button that says "Rebuild" and it will delete and rebuild your index file.

I think you search some thing that windows 7 indexing not working on it. Go to the control panel → indexing options → Select Modify and select any location for indexing because windows explorer use indexing to find data on the computer.
I recommended to use Total Commander as file manager that has many many features specially great file search tool.

In Windows Explorer search box prefix your search with name:
i.e. name:car
Don't ask me why it does not find files by simply typing in just car, it' s just another Windows' oddity.

First you have to check the Index of the Drive is checked or not
After that you have to start the searching and after that you found the problem than make sure that the file you are searching is there in that drive
