Search function in Explorer
When I try to use the Search function in Explorer (search C:\), it almost consistently fails to find the file, yet when I do a manual search, the file is there in all it's glory. I've checked spellings, used wildcards, etc., but still Explorer fails to find the files. Any ideas? This is frustrating....:sarc: -- bistro intel q6600 cpu @ 3.2ghz - evga nforce 680i sli mobo - 4gb ocz reaper pc2-8500 - vista ultimate 64-bit two evga 8800 gts 320mb in sli - x-fi fatal1ty platinum champion soundcard harddrives: 150gb wd raptor and two 74gb wd raptors, 500gb wd sata pioneer 2810 dual layer sata dvd/cd writer - sony dual layer ide dvd/cd writer antec truepower quattro 850w psu - antec p160 pc case - viewsonic 19\" va912b lcd monitor

have you adjusted your indexing options to insure the folder is included in the index.

Search function in Explorer
I'm not on my home system right now, but will look into it. Please don't tell me that I HAVE to have Fast Indexing on in order to use the Search feature....I seem to remember I turned it off because it was thrashing my hard drive. -- bistro intel q6600 cpu @ 3.2ghz - evga nforce 680i sli mobo - 4gb ocz reaper pc2-8500 - vista ultimate 64-bit two evga 8800 gts 320mb in sli - x-fi fatal1ty platinum champion soundcard harddrives: 150gb wd raptor and two 74gb wd raptors, 500gb wd sata pioneer 2810 dual layer sata dvd/cd writer - sony dual layer ide dvd/cd writer antec truepower quattro 850w psu - antec p160 pc case - viewsonic 19\" va912b lcd monitor

once the indexing is done it behaves quite nicely.
unless you told it to search the index and not the whole system that was a possibility. "bistro" wrote in message ... I'm not on my home system right now, but will look into it.

I tell the indexer to do its job on both hard drive and all partitions.
