Everything does not find file that is visible in Explorer

[Bazsl]

I searched for a file on my c: drive using the exact and complete file name and Everything did not find it. The file is visible in Explorer and does not have the Hidden attribute set. Why does this happen and how can I fix it? Thanks.
