![]() So it might seem surprising that I’m now announcing that FileLocator Pro v.8 supports indexing. Yes, I know, I’m still a little surprised myself. However, and this is a really important point, it’s not the type of indexing component that’s always running in the background. If you don’t use the feature then you won’t notice it because it’s effectively disabled by default. It won’t be running in the background consuming valuable CPU cycles and it won’t be building secret indexes consuming valuable disk space. It won’t do anything until you ask it to. Specify what should be included in the index.Create an index using the Index Manager.That’s because it’s not intended as a Desktop Search replacement instead it’s more for searching large repositories of fairly static data. The index isn’t updated unless you specifically update it and the index isn’t loaded unless you try and search it, so there is no performance impact to people who never need to use the indexing functionality. You can create multiple indexes and indexes can be shared over network drives with other people (searched concurrently) and, most importantly, the searches are sub-second ‘Search-as-you-type’ speed operations. ![]() Personally I’ve been using the indexing feature for searching an archive of over 15 years of emails.
