I need a simple test environment, hope the bug happens only with a single file...
Choose a single file, copy it in a folder alone and check if all of its tags appear in Explorer.
Then run a search (on that folder) and check if some of its tags disappear.
If yes, please post that sample file here and I'll check it out.
If you want to keep it cnfidential, send it through the contact form and refer to this post.

Hi,
I did some more tests.
I first took a single pdf (say, "pdf A") from a folder with dozens of pdf. this one, when I make a search, the tags (keywords, author, title) disappear.
I put it alone un a test folder . the tags are ok in the initial explorer view, and disappear when I make a search.
then :
I took a second single pdf (say, "pdf B") from the folder with dozens of pdf. that one, when I make a search there, the tags remain visible.
I put it in the test folder : at first, the tags are ok, and then disappear when I make a search (whatever the search : it could be "the" or * or *.* or *.pdf, it doesn't matter).
so, it is weird that the tags of "pdf B" disappear after a search in a folder , and remain visible after a search in another one.
I hav a win7 ultimate, and use acrobat X.
I send pdf A and B with the form.
thank your for your help

First thing to point out: search done in Windows Explorer is done "externally" in Windows Search. Explorer does only show results.
Windows Search uses (or should use) the same Property handlers (like PDFPropertyExtension is) as Explorer in a slight different way called "out of process" (remember that Windows Search is an external process).
From Microsoft documentation:
"Microsoft Windows Search uses property handlers to extract the values of properties from items and uses the property system schema to determine how a specific property should be indexed. To read and index property values, property handlers are invoked out-of-process by Windows Search to improve security and robustness. In contrast, property handlers are invoked in-process by Windows Explorer to read and write property values."
See here for further info: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb266532.aspx
The results returned by Property handlers are then stored in Windows Search results database and shown in Explorer.
That said, the first thing to try is to rebuild the Windows Search database (http://superuser.com/questions/98958/clear-search-cache-on-windows-7) and check it out again.
