Desktop Search (Plus version only)

Desktop Search is based on Windows Index Search facility included in Windows 2000 and later. To use Desktop Search the Index Search service must be
  • Installed. The Index Search service installation is performed via ControlPanel/AddRemovePrograms/WindowsComponents (2000/XP) or ControlPanel/ProgramsAndFeature/TurnWindowsFeaturesOnOrOff/IndexingService (Vista) applet.
  • Launched. If the service is installed you can check/launch the service via MyComputer/RightClick/Manage/ServicesAndApplications/IndextingService
  • Configured. The launched service has to be configured for where the files for the lookup are located. You can add locations (directories or entire disks) to the service processing. The service processes the locations slowly, in the background, saving CPU resources of your computer for main tasks, so indexing process can take time. The lookup is performed in the "System" catalog by default.
