Hi, I came across this thread when looking for a different issue. For some reason, some files are found as duplicated. i.e. I search for a file name called "Journal 1.doc" by invoking QS and typing "jour." It finds all my journal documents, but doubles of all of them. e.g. QS finds Journal 1, Journal 1, Journal 2, Journal 2 etc etc. I only have one of each file, and QS finds doubles in the very same folder. Is there a way to fix this? The files are in the Documents folder.
