| | Any way to index ALL filenames in indexed locations? Hi, Is there any way to configure Windows Search to include all filenames in indexed locations? I have never found Windows Search useful because it has never returned results that I'm looking for (in over two years, from within Microsoft). The problem is that I look for files with odd names, and frequently with no extensions at all. To be useful for me Windows Search needs to index all the files it finds (in indexed locations) and just search the name of the file (I never want to search on contents, just partial name). The "Include non-indexed, hidden, and system files" option is not a solution because it doesn't use the index - I get better performance using GNUwin32 find.exe at the command line. Thanks. Jim |
