Created this power shell script
Get-ChildItem -Path 'N:\ENIE\*gainr*' -Recurse | Out-File '.\search_gainr.txt'
Ran it, required a couple of minutes to run, expected as there are many directories there, and found files I wanted.
Created this script
Get-ChildItem -Path 'N:\ENIE\*esir*' -Recurse | Out-File '.\search_esir.txt'
Ran it, returned almost immediately, did not find any files. But I know some exist. Just to prove the point, I created a new file with phrase "esir" in the name.
Ran the script and it returned in maybe two seconds. It did not find the new file. Evidently it used a cached list of files.
What steps can I take to instruct it to ignore all cached lists and go actually search all the subdirectories for the files I want?
