I would like to know what indexing a drive is?
See the replies back in the original thread.
I am assuming it is only using it for quick lookups when you do a "find" for a file.
No. It has nothing to do with searching for files by name. It's about searching for a specific text string *within* files.
I indexed my 50 Gig MP3 Share and my 30 Gig internal drive overnight and this morning I see no difference,
You lost a chunk of HD - the created index takes up space.
And now you can locate all files that contain the word "frelling" about 20% faster than you could yesterday.
