I'm trying to search for a file in Windows 7 (it's in C:\Users{user}\Application Data…) but when I try to search, it returns the results from a previous search (for the same search term) as soon as I finish typing it, like it's been cached.
I think it didn't show up in the previous search, because C:\ was indexed with this folder (AppData) as an exclusion. The problem is that I have no way of deleting this cached search so it's returning the wrong results.
I tried deleting the item on the dropdown on the search window and deleting the temp files with no luck. I also tried googling but I found nothing. Thanks in advance.

Try deleting and rebuilding the search index:
Control Panel
Indexing Options
Advanced
(this will open the Advanced Options dialog)Rebuild
button.If that doesn't work try choosing a new location for the index, just below the
Rebuild
button.
