1. Go to Windows Desktop

 2. Click Start

 3. After the start menu opens, type "control panel" and wait for the Start menu to find the Control Panel icon. Please note that it is possible to just type "cont" and in most cases the Start menu would still find the Control Panel icon.

Once it finds it, click it and wait for the Control Panel window to appear.

4. Once the Control Panel window is open, enlarge it by clicking the enlarging icon on the top right corner of that window.

5. To make navigation easier, click Category on the top right side of the Control Panel window and choose "Large Icons" from the small new menu that appears.

6. Look for the Indexing Options icon and click it. Wait for the Indexing Options window to appear.

 7. Once the Indexing Options window is open, click the Advanced button at the bottom of that window.

8. In the new window, look for the Rebuild button and click it. Afterwards a confirmation box will pop up. Click the OK button in it to start rebuilding the index.

9. After clicking OK in the confirmation box, Windows will start rebuilding its index. It might take some time for the actual process to start, Wait patiently a few seconds to a few minutes. The moment the process starts, the "Indexing Complete" sentence will be replaced with "Indexing in progress. Search results might not be complete during this time."

In addition, the number of items indexed will be reset to 0 for a moment and then start to increase.

Note that All of the windows that are related to the Indexing process can now be closed and the rebuilding process would still be running the background. 

Note that the Indexing process' speed might be reduced due to user activity on the computer. The more intense the activity the less the Indexing speed would be.

10. To check if the indexing process is done, go back to the Indexing Options through Control Panel as explained in the previous stages. If the process is complete, you would see the "Indexing Complete" sentence appears again.

Since Windows does not notify the user once this process is done, there is indeed a need to perform the latter mentioned.  Depending on the number of files, folders, drivers and partitions marked for indexing, this process could take between a few minutes to a few hours.
