Advance Find and Replace no longer finds ANYTHING

This has happened occasionally, now it happens every time I try to use Advance Find and Replace. Not matter what I search for, it takes about 10 seconds and finds nothing. Even a mask of *.docx with no search query with no use of advanced options finds nothing when there are plenty of Word docs in the search path.

How can I get Advance Find and Replace to work again?

Thank you,

John

P.S. This is using Windows 10.

Which version of Microsoft Office do you use? Probably AFR does not support this version of Office.

I'm using Office 2016. However, it doesn't find anytype of file. It was working before, and occasionally would not find files, but it always would start working again. Now, it won't find anything, even with a mask of *.* and no advanced search options.

In this case you need to do: menu Action - Save Configuration As
and send us your configuration file and one sample file.
Because, for example, on menu Action - Options you may have unchecked option "Find in File Bodies" and so on.
