如何在Windows 10的开始菜单中搜索所有PC文件

Windows 10’s May 2019 Update finally adds the ability to search all your PC’s files directly from your Start menu. However, this feature is disabled by default. Here’s how to enable it for quicker, easier file searches.

Windows 10的2019年5月更新最终增加了直接从``开始''菜单中搜索所有PC文件的功能。 但是，默认情况下禁用此功能。 以下是启用它的方法，以便更快，更轻松地搜索文件。

Here’s the problem: By default, when you search your Start menu, Windows will only search your libraries and desktop. Libraries include folders like your Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos. If you have files elsewhere, the Start menu won’t find them.

问题出在这里：默认情况下，当您搜索“开始”菜单时，Windows只会搜索您的库和桌面。 库包括诸如文档，图片，音乐和视频之类的文件夹。 如果您在其他位置有文件，则“开始”菜单将找不到它们。

To make your Start menu’s file search more reliable, you can now head to Settings > Search > Searching Windows. Or, from the search panel, click the “…” menu button at the top right corner of the panel and select “Indexing Options.”

为了使“开始”菜单的文件搜索更加可靠，您现在可以转到“设置”>“搜索”>“搜索Windows”。 或者，从搜索面板中，单击面板右上角的“…”菜单按钮，然后选择“索引选项”。

If you don’t see these options, you haven’t installed Windows 10’s May 2019 Update (that’s version 1903) yet.

如果您没有看到这些选项，则说明您尚未安装Windows 10的2019年5月更新(版本1903)。

From here, you can control the Windows search indexer—the background process that creates the list of files Windows searches. When you search for a file, Windows examines the search index to see what matches on your PC. This makes the search process fast, but it means that the search indexer has to continually run in the background and watch for new files in the folders you choose to search.

在这里，您可以控制Windows搜索索引器 -创建Windows搜索文件列表的后台进程。 搜索文件时，Windows会检查搜索索引以查看PC上的匹配项。 这样可以加快搜索过程，但是这意味着搜索索引器必须在后台连续运行，并注意在您选择搜索的文件夹中查找新文件。

To make Windows search your everything on your PC, select “Enhanced.” Microsoft warns that this may decrease battery life and CPU consumption—the indexer has to watch for more files. After enabling this option, you must be connected to battery power for the initial index to be built. You can see the status of the index under “Indexing Status” here—the “Pending” list is the number of items Windows has to examine before the index is complete.

要使Windows搜索您PC上的所有内容，请选择“增强型”。 微软警告说，这可能会减少电池寿命和CPU消耗-索引器必须监视更多文件。 启用此选项后，必须连接电池电源才能建立初始索引。 您可以在此处的“索引状态”下看到索引的状态-“待处理”列表是Windows在完成索引之前必须检查的项目数。

To make Windows search some additional folders—but not everything—click “Customize  search locations here.” You can add other folders you want to search. For example, if you have a folder D:\Files where you store important files, you can add it to here.

要使Windows搜索其他一些文件夹(但不是全部)，请单击“在此处自定义搜索位置”。 您可以添加其他要搜索的文件夹。 例如，如果您有一个文件夹D：\ Files用于存储重要文件，则可以将其添加到此处。

You can also scroll down and add “excluded folders” that the Windows search indexer will ignore. If you have folders with lots of files that change frequently—or just a lot of files you don’t care about and don’t want to search—it’s a good idea to add them to the excluded folders list. This will save some battery power and CPU usage while cleaning up your search results.

您还可以向下滚动并添加Windows搜索索引器将忽略的“排除的文件夹”。 如果您的文件夹包含许多经常更改的文件，或者只是许多您不关心且不想搜索的文件，则最好将它们添加到排除的文件夹列表中。 在清理搜索结果时，这将节省一些电池电量和CPU使用率。

Before the May 2019 Update, Windows 10’s Start menu always ignored the search indexer for some strange reason. Even if you control search indexing options from the Control Panel on an older version of Windows 10, it won’t affect the results that appear in the Start menu. However, it will affect the results shown when you search for files in File Explorer.

在2019年5月更新之前，Windows 10的``开始''菜单总是出于某种奇怪的原因而忽略搜索索引器。 即使您从旧版Windows 10的控制面板上控制搜索索引选项，也不会影响“开始”菜单中显示的结果。 但是，这将影响在“文件资源管理器”中搜索文件时显示的结果。
