index rebuild...anyone know how to speed up
Have seen countless reports on forums of how slow the Windows index takes to build/rebuild in W7.
Been trying for over a week. I let the first one run for several days and it was barely moving. I never shut the pc off (new ASUS PC). My old HP running windows XP pro had the same slow issue.
enabled "disable index backoff" and didn't seem to move any quicker. At the rate it was going, it was literally going to take several weeks, maybe months for it to complete.
I restarted the rebuild again this morning after removing a lot of old email and deleting as much as I could from Outllook and when I first started the rebuild I saw the progress go from 1 to 99 to 533 in less than a minute, I was ecstatic !!!
... well here it is a good 8 hours later and status says " 1,079 items indexed" and when I check the indexing status in Outlook it says 39,614 items remaining.
My pst is +-6GB and i have a fair amount of files/items selected, but nothing should take this long to run.
Has anyone figured out how in the world to build this index quicker?
