Search Results Don't Match Search Words

Not sure what's going on with this but it's really odd. I'm trying to add new recordings using the search title feature in WMC but once I type in the title, it lists shows that aren't even close to the search term.

Example search term:

"How Its"

Results:

A Haunting
A Haunting : Back From The....
David Blaine: .....
David Blaine: .....
David Blaine: ....

It didn't use to do this and I'm not sure when it actually started doing this. I also tried searching by Actor and it also gives me results that are not even close to the name of the actor I'm searching for. Anyone know what would cause this? I am running EPG123 v.1.1.3 on Windows 7 Ultimate.

This will typically be related to Windows Search or indexing. There was something similar here (http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... 79#p115079) that may help.

Thanks garyan2. Had to rebuild my indexing that took a few hours to do but that seems to have fixed it.
