I know this is not exactly what this thread is about, but as far as indexing mapped drives goes, I gave-up on Windows' indexing, and found a program that will let me do that: It's called "Everything" (just Google that word), and is running happily on my Windows Server 2008 R2 box, and I can query it from my Windows 7 Ultimate box.
It's not perfect, but I like it better than Windows Search in some ways, for several reasons:
- The results are returned instantaneously.
- The index is updated in real time (I'm not exaggerating, it's instantaneous).
- Its database is tiny (less than 3 MiB for over 1 million files on my machine, compared to several GiB for the Windows one).
There are a few things that are not so good, like it doesn't index file contents, picture tags, etc., it has to run as an admin, and a few other things; but I like it and it's worked for me so far.
