The Search Facility in Windows xp Professional

In Windows xp Professional, the search facility
accessible via Start->Search, which used to work fine,
one day stopped finding files. Every search now
yields "Search is complete. There are no results to
display," even though files actually are present on the
selected appropriate drive. How can the search facility
be made to work again?

Greetings

Please See "Why doesn't Search work?"
