Starting the Indexing Service to Speed Up File
Searches
You can greatly speed up searching for files, particularly files with
text in them, if you index your files.
To turn this on:
- Start a search by pressing the F3 key from the Explorer on while on
the desktop
- Click on Search Options
- Click on Indexing Service
- Check Yes, enable Indexing Service
Searches should now go extremely fast. The index file is relatively
small.
For example I have about 3 gigs of used hard drive space
and this created a 20 meg index file.
