Folder permissions and missing files

Hi,
I hope that might be the solution to my problem too. I searched for all the
..pst files (by using *.pst) in the Live Search and it came up with 4 pst
files. These I wanted to cut and paste to another location. I was messing
with the Sort and Stack filter features of the search results window (very
handy!) and then they dissapeared from the list. I couldn't find the files
anymore. I redid the search (open close window, etc), with and without the *,
also on the filename itself but nothing came up anymore. I did turn indexing
on in the meantime. The data is on a 230 gb harddisk so there's no way I can
find it without search.
Any ideas?

This might be caused by the indexer not having indexed that location, if you
had just turned indexing on. You could try changing your indexing settings
in the control panel to make sure that location and that file entention is
being indexed.
