| | "Search" in Vista Why "Search" is so ineffective in Vista (Ult)? When searching in Win XP internally on PC or on news groups results are shown almost immediately. But in Vista it take ages if you get any result at all. Any reason for that? Jdr |

| | Re: "Search" in Vista folders...options....search.... "always search file names and contents" "don't use the index" I believe its the indexing that is the problem after making these changes the search function is not slow "Mick Murphy" <MickMurphy@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:495030D7-1DE5-406C-9617-9B41650C634A@xxxxxx Quote: >I find Search in Vista good! > Search is one of its best points! > -- > Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia > > > "Jdr" wrote: > Quote: >> Why "Search" is so ineffective in Vista (Ult)? >> When searching in Win XP internally on PC or on news groups >> results are shown almost immediately. >> But in Vista it take ages if you get any result at all. >> Any reason for that? >> >> Jdr >> |

| | Re: "Search" in Vista I wished I could say it and could hear from more than few users. Theoretically and from what Microsoft say you might be correct. But practically when you have 4 HDrives, each 500GB and Drives D:\ and E:\ large volume of data (about 50% each) then you have a problem which you shouldn't have. .................
