How long does it take the search index to complete. I would like to search
file for content in my computer. The index automatically builds Outlook,
Users, etc, but other locations I have entered like a partitioned D: drive
(data files) and External K: drive (backup and historical files) will not
yield results without checking "search non indexed locations". This takes
quite a while even with 4 gigs of Ram, Ready Boost etc using Vista Business.
I've tried rebuilding index but it's very slow and does not seem to get to
the other drives I mentioned. Please advise, cant' find anything on MS web
site

Thanx
 
If you want non-indexed locations added to the search index you need to add
them yourself - that's why they're called "non-indexed" locations. How long
it will take depends on how many files, drives, etc. are indexed; system
performance; hard drive speed; and so on.

Open Help and Support and search for "Add Locations to Search Index" -
there's a wealth of information there.
