I must say, this is a garbage software.
1. The file types it can search within is limited. Not even Microsoft’s own file types, say, Access database file or Microsoft Onenote.
2. After I installed the software, it started indexing. That is to read files in advance and form a database. Later, the search will be done within the database, hence will be faster. There is a place to save the results of the indexing. I changed the file location for the index file. The indexing did not stop. The indexing needs hours. I turned off the computer and went to sleep. The indexing was half the way. The second day, when I opened the computer, I found the indexing restarted from the very beginning. That’s because I changed the place of the index file. Shit!
3. Today, the indexing is done, about 60000 files. I added some new files, the indexing did not start automatically to update the new file, which it should.
4. IÂ created a new directory. Nothing is happening. When I check the configuration, I found this newly added directory is automatically selected to the list of directories to be indexed. I unchecked the newly added directory, closed the configuration window. Damn, the indexing process started. The indexed file number was still some 60000, but the to be indexed file number kept increasing and increasing. I don’t understand. BTW, the folder I just added contains only 2 files. And the removing of the folder should not cause other files to be re-indexed.
5. I removed all other folders which were originally in the list. Left only the newly added folder. Later, I found “My Documents” folder was automatically added to the list. I removed that folder again. BTW, the to be indexed file number is still increasing.
6. After restarting computer, I found the indexing process was not running. I further found that all file numbers(indexed or to be indexed) were 0. Remember before restarting, there were at least one folder, the newly added one.
7. I opened the configuration window, wanted to add one folder. But I couldn’t, the field and buttons were grayed out and disabled.
Shit… This is the product from Microsoft. Free, though…
