Vista (SP1) loses the search index
Since a few days Vista inexplicably loses my search index – and I have no
idea what causes this! This is soooooooooo annoying!! Every time I want the index to help me search for files, I find it has reverted to its default options (which do not include my folders), and I need to again manually add the folders that I want in the index. This causes Vista to rebuild its search index, taking an hour or more! In effect, Vista’s much touted search functionality has become utterly useless to me! Can anyone tell me what would cause such a behaviour whereby Vista resets indexed locations to its few (and so very limited) default indexing folders? I run Vista Ultimate and upgraded to SP1 (the recent RTM release) with no other search provider installed. Though regarding the latter, if I can’t get Vista’s native search indexing back to normal, I might as well make use of SP1’s feature whereby I can kick out Vista’s search functionality and use Google’s, or whatever – not a preferred option, but better than no indexing!! Thanks for all help and advice. |
