Enable fast, efficient and reliable file system search
Hello,
Thank you for reading my post.
This is my first Windows 7 notebook. As far as Windows is concerned, my OS was Windows XP before, I never user Vista intensively.
I am wondering if, given a brand new OS, there is some kind of configuration to be made to allow a fast, efficient and reliable search in the filesystem (for both searching for file names/folder names... and for searching file contents).
This is the reason why I got interested in the "Indexing Options" part of the "Control Panel".
I'd like to index both and all file names (including of course folder names, etc.) and file contents.
Need this indexing be done once for initialization and then a running service takes care of indexing new resources (new files, new folders and their contents)?
Or else, how does this work and what are the steps I need to follow to achieve my aim?
Is there any lower level interface or tool that can be used for searching the filesystem aside from the tool embedded in the "Explorer"?
And if reindexing (indexing new resources) has to be done manually, is there any handy command that can be run? A command which would only index the differential (don't want to rerun a whole several hours scan every time I want the index to be updated)...
Thank you for helping and best regards.
