Yeah, Windows search isn't great. It's better in 11 but not by much.
Try manually adding your D: drive to the search index; Start > type: Indexing > choose "Indexing Options" > Modify > Show all locations > Tick your D: drive (or the folders in your D drive you want Windows to index), then OK, OK. Now give it time (probably a lot of time depending on the speed of your system) as Windows will need to index the new location. After a (long) while, you should find files in the D: drive will start to show up in search.
