The Indexing Service ChooserIf you're running Windows 2000 or XP, the Indexing Service Chooser appears at the bottom of every Eluent Tools Task Dialog Box. It allows you to search specific Indexing Service catalogs on your local computer and computers on your network. Below, the Indexing Service Chooser is about to find files containing either the word "sonicwall" or the phrase "digital camera", and it will look in the local catalogs Docs and System as well as the System catalog located on a networked computer named Dell. This Indexing Service query returned a number of pdf, html, and txt files, and it took about two seconds to execute. The referenced catalogs indexed roughly 70,000 files. Besides searching entire catalogs, Path Plans allow you to limit your search to specific folders you're interested in. Eluent Tools will infer the machines and catalogs to search from the paths. The Advanced button in each of these Path Plan dialog tabs leads to the Advanced Filters dialog box, which contains an Indexing Service tab. This means you can always filter with Indexing Service, and you can store Indexing Service queries as part of a Path Plan. |
