This is the exact problem I have! except i have 16,000 images lol. 
When I search for the missing image the search shows up nothing, but I can manually find that image and lightroom is happy to locate it, but NOT the adajcent files.. so this is reallllly tedious!!
How did you force Lightroom to update the files?? 

Thanks

You posted to an old thread, but despite of what you said your problem may not be exactly the same. That's why I moved it to its own new thread. So please explain exactly what you problem is. What do you mean with "When I search for the missing image the search shows up nothing"? How did you search? Did you use the 'Find All Missing Photos' menu? If that does not come up with missing photos, then there are no missing photos. And do you have a clue why these photos are missing? If you rename photos outside of Lightroom, then these photos will be missing, but 'Find Nearby Missing Photos' will not work because the nearby missing photos are also renamed and Lightroom has no knowledge of that fact.
