So it's not possible to search a CD/DVD if it's not indexed? Is this a new
design "feature"?
If one is working with networked drives that are mapped to Linux resources,
it's not possible to search files on these drives until they're indexed?
What if I don't want to index GB of files on a Linux network resource, but
what if I want to search selected wildcarded files in a selected directory
for a specific target string on that resource? This type of search worked
in Windows 2000. This search cannot not be done in Vista because the Linux
network drive is not indexed for Vista?
Searching "faster" with indexed files is nice, but what about all the files
that cannot be searched at all now? What about all the files that are not
indexed? Why isn't there an Vista Ultimate tool that allows searching all
files whether they are indexed or not? What did I really get for "Ultimate"
Vista?
Since Windows Vista search is defective, one now must buy a 3-rd party tool,
like SSScanner to do searches that used to work in Windows 2000?
http://www.kryltech.com/scanner.htm Shouldn't Microsoft just buy Kryloff
Technologies and help Vista customers with a better search -- one that can
always work? Note Kryloff even markets their product "SSScanner enhances
searches in Windows Vista" on their web page. My take: SSScanner fixes a
defective Vista search strategy. I've now got to pay Kryloff Technologies
$99.95 to fix Vista's search. Can I send the bill to Bill?
