However, the calls we usually get revolve around rebuilding the index and adding locations. Recently however, we had a customer ask us how to modify the file types properties for Indexingen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/11/21/desktop-search-and-indexing-file-types.aspx#3158201Sun, 23 Nov 2008 12:23:42 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3158201Yaytay<p>Maybe the reason you don't get many calls on Desktop Search is that it is so bad that noone uses it?</p> <p>I've been using Vista for 3 years (I used to be in Redmond) and in that time I have never had a search return the results I'm looking for.</p> <p>Yes, I tried talking to the Search team about it, but it didn't make any difference.</p> <p>My problem is that my normal files are perfectly organised, I don't want to search for them.</p> <p>What I want to search for are source code files and other files associated with development - obj files through to exes and dlls.</p> <p>And I usually only want to search by part of the name of the file.</p> <p>And the search engine simply doesn't work for those types of searches.</p> <p>Note that having to reconfigure the search engine for my purposes isn't good enough - I use too many machines for that to be viable.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3158201" width="1" height="1">
