| 32 Business | Re: Advanced Search I know this is slightly off topic, but I'm hoping to get this one thing straight: since Vista uses an indexed search process, it does not search unindexed locations? Sounds good on paper... My problem is that when searching a DVD drive from the folder's search box I get no results returned even though many files with this name are on the drive, even though a <windows> - F search will return resuts. Hmm, maybe I need to include the DVD in the index? No, there is no option to do this in "Indexing Options". So, the search box only searches indexed locations? |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Advanced Search Hi Geez, By default Vista uses the Index for all searches. This will only give you search results from what is included/listed in the Index. External devices cannot be included in the Index though. However, you can specify Vista to do a non-indexed search so that it will search everything instead of just what is listed in the Index. You can do this through Advanced Search (step 7) here, or adjust your Search settings for all searches here: Search Options Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Advanced Search Hi Joronamo, You could change the Search settings for this. Search Options If you do not wish to use the Index to have more accurate search results, then you might also consider disabling the Index. Index - Enable or Disable Hope this helps, Shawn |
