Searching sub>SUB folders in Adobe Bridge

I have a huge database of photos in various subfolders. I can check search sub folders and it will show those, but it will not show the photos in the sub folders of the sub folders. It will only show the actual folder and I would like it to show the contents. How can I make this happen??? Do I have to setup my whole organization system again to work around that or what??

Thank you for any ideas, trying to make searching by keywords as easy as possible for all my coworkers also searching the files.

Works for me in CS6 and CC2015 (6.3.1.186) … Are up also including non-indexed files? Any criteria or All criteria?

Parent Folder

> Child Folder

>> Sub-Child Folder

All images and their keywords in all three folders are displayed.

Perhaps it is a pref’s issue:

It seems to work OK if I search fairly specifically but if I start the search under the broadest category of folder to search specific tags in all folders, it is unable to find the contents of the sub>sub>sub folders. There are a few layers.....Still checking search non indexed.

Any other ideas to change the preferences?

You may need to show screenshots of your Edit/Find setup and or sample files and or sample directory structures etc.
