RE: Vista File Indexing = Incomplete results

RC White:

I have tried having both drives indexed in their entirety as well as the
root folders of all files. That didnt change the result. On the index
options i dont have it indexing contents.

Kurt Herman:

Search Entire Index was selected.

Under file ownership, it was set to Administrators on the ones that it wasnt
finding, i already have everything off right now so i can rebuild the index
so I'm not sure if it was searching and locating Administrators owned files,
I made sure my user is in the admin group, but I'm in the process of taking
ownership right now to see if that changes the result.

Adam Albright:

I've tried both regular and advanced.


After removing and shutting down indexing, it finds all the files i need
without a problem. I also installed the google desktop and that is doing a
good job locating the files, so it looks like I have 2 work arounds if I cant
get this to work!

I'll post back after the files get re-indexed with the new results.

Thanks!
