Re: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: Search Companion 2003

Marc, This is on my list of standard things to modify on any 2003 installation.  Here's how you fix it to search within any file:     http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309173/EN-US/ I suggest using Method 2: 1.    Click Start, and then click Search (or point to Search, and then click For Files or Folders). 2.    Click Change preferences, and then click With Indexing Service (for faster local searches). 3.    Click Change Indexing Service Settings (Advanced). Note that you do not have to turn on the Index service. 4.    On the toolbar, click Show/Hide Console Tree. 5.    In the left pane, right-click Indexing Service on Local Machine, and then click Properties. 6.    On the Generation tab, click to select the Index files with unknown extensions check box, and then click OK. 7.    Close the Indexing Service console. Alternatively you can just enter a single registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions REG_DWORD 1 Matt Marc Catuogno wrote: The 2003 Search companion in Sever 2003 sucks - I just moved from a 2000 sever. Does anyone know how to modify its default setting? When I used to dig through held e-mails on the 2000 server I would use it to find and delete e-mail by using the "containing text" field. So when I saw the e-mail was from somespammer.com I would search the spam folder for that and delete all the *smd files containing that text. NOW when I do the same search I get NO results. When I change the file extension to .txt instead of .smd the search then finds all the files. So M$ decided unless it is a file type in KNOWS it isn't going to bother searching for my string. I tried to create .SMD as a new file type, and a text file to no avail. Any suggestions about this??? --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
