SearchIndexer - XP pro. machine has new utility searchindexer, which intend is to provide a better localfile system search. all know how good earlier search was.. some pro use to install cygwin to search windows FS.
I recently downloaded tons of source code. searchindexer kicked in start indexing file it took 2gb!1 of memory..
so i tried to reschedule it, to weekend. but there is no such option
next thing was to deselect filetypes to index, it list 1000 of file types, i am bit confused why are there so many file types ? in theory there should be 3 file types a ascii text file , binary files and ms document binary which you should be able to search from ms platform if was plain xml doc then things would have been easier .. that for another day.!!
Nor it has option of bulk select and deselect "select all" you have to click on individual box !!
hope they come with some simple interface and provide more tuning options for such resource intensive tasks.
