Windows 7 Search Providing No Results

Windows 7 Search Providing No Results

I relocated my user profile onto another partition, and now Win7 search doesn't provide any results when I search "Documents". If I search the drive, or my profile directory, I get results, but if I open up Documents and search it provides no results.

"Could it be that the service called Windows Search (Indexer) is disabled?

Here is how to enable it:

Click on start, go to control panel.
Open administrative tools, right click on services and click on run as administrator.
Scroll down for Windows search service, check if it is started.
If no, then right click on the service and click on start.

If that doesn't help, try to open the Search and Indexing troubleshooter."
