Windows 10: Windows 11 Search not working within a particular subfolder within a junction but works...

I have a some files on a USB dive e.g. "D:\Folder\Subfolder\Filename.example"A junction has been created so that D:\Folder also appears on the system drive as C:\Media\Folder. D:\Folder and C\Media are both indexed locations and there are no excluded locations in them.Search is working just fine when browsing the D drive in Windows Explorer. When I navigate to C:\Media\Folder\ and search for Filename, the correct result appears. When I navigate to C:\Media\Folder\Subfolder\ and do the same there are no results.This was working just fine this morning but suddenly stopped. I'm running Windows 11

Use subfolders for background in Windows 11

I would suggest that every Windows user with more than 100 stored images organizes their images in subfolders. Why is it so difficult to support subfolders for background images? This requirement has existed for several years, see among others

Redirecting

A good workaround was in the past the usage of kind:=picture in the search query, see

But with the Windows 11 update 22H2 the serach query is no longer supported. Unfortunately, a step backwards in terms of ease of use.

Does anyone know of a way to include subfolders again?
