aha! you say, vista does search within files automagically! not in my expirience.
the files that need to be searched, are excel 2007 files, so far so good. Held on a massive network share broken down into departments and access premissions given out as relevant. Not so good.
Vista won't index network drives. now, while it will look for names, it won't look within files for anything related to the search. This i assume is because it has no index on those files held on the network share.
WindowsXP didn't seem to care and would search within files it knew about anyway.
while i approve of not indexing network resources, why is it unable to search within the files it does find?
Both Coppernic and GoogleDesktop have prooven to be equally horrific if let loose in a datacentre.
any ideas on how to search within networked, nonindexed files?
