Analyzing will only process the files already there. You need to do add to database and it won't create duplicates.

i thought analyzing added them to the search database already. oops.

Add to DB first then analyze. You can't analyze something that's not there.

Maybe you'd benefit from reading the manual to see how database management works.

By default autoSearchDb is enabled, so any folder that you browse would also be in the search db, and there would indeed be no need to manually add files that you see to the search db.
Only if you have autoSearchDb disabled you would indeed need to add them to the search db manually, but you are free to do it before or after analyzing.
