    Search Not Indexing Partitions


    Whenever I buy a TV show or movie, I put them in the correct partition (T: for TV shows and M: for Movies), and rename them so I can easily search for them.

    For example, I've got the 1st episode of the 1st season of "Through The Wormhole" named as:
    Through The Wormhole S01 E01

    I used to just be able to type that into the search box and it would give me the exact result.

    I recently split all my media across 2 hard drives and reinstalled Windows - now I cannot search for anything in the M: and T: drives.

    Can anybody help?

I take it Windows 7 doesn't have this feature and if it does can it be turned off? Just that when I turned it off in Vista I noticed a performace boost when booting up and loading up programs.
