Windows explorer files not showing or can't be found

Hello,


I have a folder with over one million files on a server.
There are a files that I know are there because if I type the entire location with filename it opens up. But if I search for the file,  windows can't find it.
The files are just regular pdf or office files.
If I sort the folder by filename, those files do not show up.

Thanks for the help

Hi arnololo123,

The right answer here is that you need to archive some of those files, or if they are all required, find a better way to achieve what you want to do.

Hello, are you saying that it is normal behavior?

Unfortunately, they are all required,  what do you mean by better archiving them?

Regards
