@TeraI’ve never used Windows search utility and never will. Windows search is not able to index mapped network drives, is very slow, there Is no live index utility and you don’t have control over file types.
I use Everything . It’s known as the fastest Search-as-you-type search engine. The first time it runs, it create the index. Everything can index a 1T byte in a minute or 2. It can index mapped network drives, you. An set file type to be indexed and a lot more options.
After the first index, Everything is on watch for any change in a drive and doesn’t need additional indexing.
Thanks for that. I seem to recall I had that on one of my computers in the past as well.
However, I am not convinced nothing else was affected, just that I have not discovered it yet , so I will still hold off for now.
I will try Everything again though.
