Is the Windows Search service running and is that folder's location being indexed by Windows? As Barbara mentioned, Dash uses the Windows Search Index. If the location that you're expecting to find in Dash isn't being indexed by Windows, Dash likely won't know about it.

I searched for \"Microsoft Word\".
0 results.
Then I checked my start menu and realized that there is no \"Microsoft Word\". There is a program called just simply \"Word\" inside my \"Microsoft Office\" folder.
So when I searched \"word\", that was the only thing that came up. The MS program. Why did I not get more results for the single word, \"word\"?
Weird.
This is my third post and may be my last because this program is borderline bloatware with some spyware mixed in. Plus no Firefox support (I know it's too hard for developers to write for FF these days. Poor guys/gals.)
You know what helps find local programs faster? Windows search. And I can get to it with keyboard shortcuts! Win > Tab. Simple.
