It's difficult to tell from the screen shot. But if the total path length of the file exceeds 260 characters, Explorer cannot deal with it.

This utility searches for too long paths:

ok thx
yes i had googled it up and down before and tried out stuff, that's what made it so wired for me, that it was not catching with obvious search terms.

In my screenshot I have examples of my search terms *collmex* and name:*collmex*.* which right now bring the resuts all the way, but by then just didn't, as screenshotted.

I just have Win8 standard setup, i didn't knowingly activate another Search Service.
