Needs a check up

I am having issues with Windows searching the shared drive on my network.
We have a dedicated server with one drive which has

30,000 files and 30 gigs of data.

We run a search for a name like smith,
now we use smith in the folder name so I date restrict to 1 month and punch in smith, and in 30 seconds the search is not complete and it is not showing any results.

This is not having to search every document, it's in the file name!

after about 2 minutes the explorer window just closes and never shows any results.

Any idea what is going on here?

If you have access to the server, you can search local NTFS drives with Ultrasearch.

Tools I used, not sure if they require admin permissions.

Try:
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Filter *smith* -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Force

substituting which drive you're using. Run in powershell as admin.
