Index Hard Drives in search option in Windows 8

In windows 8 you will notice that the search  option is not very strong . If you search for anything on windows 8 it will not show files from whole hard disk . It will show results from some specific areas . So it will be a problem for users .
                            
                                                                               

The cause of this problem is in windows 8 hard disk is not automatically indexed .

If you want to solve this you have to index hard disk manually .
Now I am going to do this and show you how.........

Okay let's start: 
  1. Go to Control Panel (Hint: Start + R > type Control > press Enter
  2. Hit on the Indexing Options
  3. Click on Modify button
  4. Select all the Drives as shown in the image below
  5. Hit OK
  6.  That's it. Now within few hours your all files and folders will be indexed to the indexing service. 
How to add drives in search index
Note: If you wanna omit any drive from indexing then unmark it.
