indexing

When I enter a search word in WE under LIBRARIES it just sits there. If I do it in the actual folder (My Documents) it searches immediately. At some point in the past it would search but never find anything, now it doesn't even search. W7 x64 or x86 Did I mention it works on someone else's W7...

I have postedd this in an older thread but seem to have lost it. My Windows experience Index is 6.2 which is based on the lowest sub index which is for the hard drive. My hard drive is twin velocoraptors in a Raid 0 array which I thought should be pretty fast. If anyone has a faster index...

By Terry Blount This is a round up of processes, services and features that I have turned off. I have tested these for months under Windows 7. My system is faster and stable and has far less overhead than the day I installed Windows 7. My boot time as recorded by BootRacer is down to 17...

Every now and then, you have these items which make you check the thermostat in hell. Today, we have a classic case: BusinessWeek is reporting that Apple and Microsoft are reportedly in talks about replacing Google with Bing as the default search engine on the iPhone. BusinessWeek gets its...

Hi guys, I have a nasty problem with my brand new Windows 7 Ultimate. Yesterday, I installed it on my desktop and it works perfectly, no single problem! Today, I install 7 on my laptop and installation doesn't cause any problem, so far so good. BUT, when I turn my laptop on, it takes more than...

I have a strange issue I could not find online. When I type anything in the searchbox in "Start Menu", all I get is a strange empty icon which doesn't do anything. If for example I type in "CMD" it'll show an item called "Programs" If I type anything that would be found in a document, it shows...

I'm hoping someone can demystify my issue here. Scenario: - I have a file server running on Windows XP Pro we'll call it XPServer - I have two windows 7 Pro PC's, that we'll call 7Office and 7HTPC. It took me a bit to figure it out, but the windows 7 help file told me in order to call a shared...

Windows Search (and/or Outlook 2007 Instant Search) does not index emails from Outlook PST files Hi Gang....so I'm having a similar problem trying to get Windows Search to index my emails. I am currently running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Outlook 2007. Upgraded from Windows XP Pro (SP3) and...

I am rapidly tiring of windows 7 search. I does seem to resemble Vista more and more and not for anything good. I have added .tps to the index, and now Windows 7 will find that file type when searching. Sort of... Thing is - Windows 7 won't recognize the size of these files - they show up as 0...

Even after installing Adobes PDFiFilter64installer.zip and re-indexing PDF files are not properly indexed. Why has MS written OS's that have terrible search capabilities for over 10 years! I vote for Ubuntu! Shame on microcrap..... End of rant--------- In the meantime any one have any...

Look in the picture, I have a problem where no matter what i type in the search field nothing appears. It works for other user accounts but not mine. I have tried rebuilding the index, disable/then re-enable windows search and indexing services. I have also made sure in the start menu...

When I used the win explorer search the system has offered me an option to locate an index. I was searching an external disk. After choosing the option to locate the index the search has stopped working no matter what I did: I removed the index, rebuild the existing indexes, returned the...

I'm talking about the start button (orb) search built into the start menu - it's HORRIBLE! :confused: I just installed 7 the other day, and I immediately noticed the search is severely lacking when compared to Vista. One major thing that seems to be missing is searching the control panel...

Documents that I saved remained in the Wordpad recent documents for a couple of days, then disappeared, then a search found no trace of the documents. Indexing is on for the whole drive. They are not in any folders that I can find. And a perhaps related problem - the Library had labeled both...

Win7 takes a giant leap backward-- you can't index network drives! XP's desktop search did this fine. Googling shows Vista had a patch to fix this-- but not Windows 7. I tried loading my networked music in Windows Media Center, which makes it show up in my Music Library, but it's still not...

Help With Network Storage Libraries and Indexing: I have all my documents stored on a 3TB RAID 5 NAS. I would like to add some of the folders on my NAS to my Windows Libraries. I would also like to index the entire NAS. Is there any way to do this without copying and taking space on my actual...
