I've been pretty damn impressed with Windows 7 search. Low overhead, good results. And believe me, I've been a huge critic of Microsoft's ability to search for anything for years. Would I use it to search code? Not in a million years, but then again, I'm not really sure that's what they had in mind when they designed it.

If I want to search, I want the search engine to search ALL files. Try searching for a string through ASP files with the 2003/2008 search engine. If I want to filter my searches, I'll filter them thank you very much. I understand their "user only needs to know about these things" mentality, but on a server? At least give me an admin search that looks at every file... Grrr..... </rant> *********************** Charlie Kaiser [email protected] Kingman, AZ *********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: Bryan Garmon [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 6:11 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Window 7 64-bit and Indexing PDF files > > I couldn't figure out why Windows 7's search feature was not > indexing the context of PDF files - which make up a large > portion of my data.
