A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A user reports that the Documents library in File Explorer no longer groups files by metadata and only returns exact keyword matches. IT confirms one included network folder is not indexed locally or remotely. What is occurring?
Correct.
Checked against learn.microsoft.com, July 2026Concept
Library features like Arrange By metadata views depend on all included locations being indexed, locally or remotely.
Why E
If one included location is not indexed, the entire library drops to basic functionality: grep-only search and no metadata browsing.

Microsoft Learn: Windows libraries, checked July 2026If indexing isn't enabled for one or more locations within a library, the entire library reverts to basic functionality: No support for metadata browsing via Arrange By views. Grep-only searches.
