WIN 11 search indexer does not see my Google Drive for Desktop, so it no longer indexes it. What’s a good alternative indexing app to the WIN 11 indexer that will search my two Google Drives for Desktop?
 
Windows Build/Version

Have you tried including the Google Drive in the 'Indexed Locations' settings.

  • Open System Settings [Windows Key + i]
  • 'Privacy & Security'
  • 'Searching Windows'
  • 'Advanced indexing options'
  • On the Indexing Options window select Modify
  • From here you should be able to add any path
