indexing

I love a fast clean system that will focus all it's attention to the tasks I give it to perform. So I turn off or optimize all features that I don't need to run all the time. Here are the tweaks I start with. User Account Control When you are tweaking features you will be prompted to...

I've searched for related issues, but haven't seen anything quite the same. I have a 2nd partition where I keep all my music, pics, etc., but the taskbar search in the start menu doesn't return them as search results until I click "see more results," in which they then appear immediately. I...

Interesting or Odd behaviour?! I added my external drive to the Indexing Options dialogue, but after fully indexing the drive, Windows 7 failed to find any of the mp3's. However, as soon as I added the mp3's to 'My Libraries', a search from Start, found them instantly (after indexing for a...

Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or is this an area for improvement in the final version. I really like the idea of Libraries. I have a LOT of photos and music on a NAS drive. Apparently, the only way to index the NAS drive is to make it available offline which, by definition...

I'm using Windows Media Player on my Dell Mini 9 win build 7100 mostly because it will add new music that I add to my folder. Lately every time I start media player it goes and reindexes all of my files. It's not just searching for new files but it shows there are no files in it and then it...

Hi I've been testing Windows Search and selected my external drive for indexing in 'Indexing Options', but none of the mp3's/jpg's on the drive have been found (although there are many thousand). Windows Search has found all my Outlook emails and finds all the mp3's from searching within...

Windows 7 search is driving me completely crazy. I have a data CD with a lot of files and folders. Nested in a folder is a file called cdboot.ima. I put in the data CD, bring up an explorer window to see the root of the disc, and then type in cdboot in the search bar. Win7 promptly tells me...

I have Win 7 RC installed and I have found out that the search does not work at all. When I write a file or folder name and press the search arrow NOTHING really happens. The fact is that sometimes, under certain conditions or wrong options Windows does not show the propper search result. But in...

Hi all, Win7100 64 installed and occasionally enjoying it so far. My Problem: I inserted a typical client-provided Data CD with 1,025 CAD files spread over 203 nested folders (a manufacturer's product library). Typical file/product name something like REQY250-BC1E where REYQ is one of dozens of...

Ok, with my vista, my performance index is a 4.9. when I had the beta, my performance index went to a 5.4. I thought that was really awesome, and I had assumed it was because 7 was less resource heavy, or maybe it used resources in a different way. But when I installed the RC1, my performance...
