You're experiencing problems with the search feature on your Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system. One user profile is not responding while others are working fine. You've tried rebuilding the index and removing the StructuredQuerySchema.bin file, but it seems like deleting the profile isn't possible due to its connection with a critical software key. Additionally, items appear on screen but aren't being searched for. Consider checking the profile's permissions, verifying the software key integrity, or consulting Windows support for deeper troubleshooting.

Searching in Windows has been a challenge since the XP era. Consider using a third-party tool such as "Everything" or "UltraSearch" (my preferred option) to replace the outdated built-in search.

Is the system completely refreshed? In July there was a patch that disrupted the search index on certain platforms. We resolved it about a month later. Verify your update settings aren’t limited only to security patches, since these issues typically require broader fixes.

If it's a roaming profile, you might attempt to remove the profile by deleting its registry entry while logged in as admin locally (such as HKLM>software>microsoft>windows NT>user profile, keeping only admin entries). Restart the machine and log in again so it caches the changes. Could you try logging in as system/admin locally? If that works, the search should be user-specific. Otherwise, consider running Windows Repair AIO or an SFC scan.
