<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have some basic files that do not seem to be included in search in Windows 8.1: MS Publisher (2013), PDF, Word (2013), etc. These are not on drive C:, but on a different internal drive E:.<br />
<br />
How do I get them included so that when I go to File Explorer and search for a file, the content of these files will be searched?<br />
<br />
Thank you.
