Windows Vista Search

Hi.

I have Windows Vista RTM (build 6000). I've been using the Search
facility, and noticed that it doesn't index any network content. Thus,
local content searches are instantaneous, but network content searches,
for instance on My Docs and Outlook / Exchange, are slow.

Can I tell Search to index network content as well ? I know the
Options dialog doesn't include this facility, but maybe there's a group
policy or registry setting ?

Not being able to quickly search network based content, such as My
Docs, Outlook, other fileshares, etc., really sucks, as that's where
nearly all user content is. It's worth noting that Google Desktop
Search does this and, thus, I would be using it if it were Vista
compatible.

I can see why it wouldn't be a good idea for Microsoft's new desktop
operating system to be indexing Windows Servers in corporate
environments by default. Imagine 400 clients indexing some poor
fileserver at the same time. Having said that, it should be optional
in selected machines, should it not ? On the other hand, maybe MS are
planning something on the server side ?

It also occurred to me that maybe enabling Offline Files in Vista and
cached Exchange mode in Outlook would allow local indexing. Would it ?

Will Vista Search be able to index network content or will I just have
to wait for Google's next GDS release ?
