The reason why so many people are lost with both files and emails is due bad directory/file management in Windows. I have 400Gb storage place on my server and i know where is the every file etc stored, and really don't need index search to find it. Having said that i barely use the regular search to find something. In order to fix directory structure in the windows i had to reorganize everything, manually and by using permissions. The problem is that system lets you save your files at any place you want, where overtime you get a such mess where i guess only index search can help you out to find the files you're looking for having the fact the station is used by multiple users.

How hard is it for you to understand that even though *you* don't need index search doesn't mean other do?

I'm a programmer. I receive a lot of mails related to work. Index search allows me to find out about a mail I received 2 weeks ago, based on the name of sender & a word that has meaning in the context of my search. All it takes using WDS is windows+S, then type from:someone contextword.

Also, as a programmer, I have TONS of source files to handle. I'm not talking of badass 400Gb of storage which I'd guess must look like 80 isos of 4Gb each, which indeed makes things easy to find back. I'm talking 45000 different source files, in 800 folders. Go find something manually in that case - a simple search takes a minute to complete. And I do have a raptor, mind you.

Anyway. Bottom line is, indexing is the logical next step, and it would be stupid not to take it. Storage keeps growing, the number of files kept by any user keeps growing, hence finding a specific file is BOUND to be harder. It's pure math. You might not care for it, others do, me included.

It's not hard to limit the actual user to save the files only into the my documents (whatever is called) folder which should be organized in such a way where the files with certain extension can go into certain folder.

search for file with extension, let's say *.doc if system saves those files under my documents and settings only in the system specified folder (call it wordDocs). System would know where to search for *.doc file which resides in one location namely directory and its subdirectories

Are you serious? Saving files in directories soley based on extensions? That would suck!

searchindexer is driving me up the walls. It started yesterday out of the blue and I left my PC running over night. Its still running at 100%. I need to go to taskmanager and delete it just to get onto my pc. I set it at low priority yet it still hogs 100% when I am doing anything. I take it there is something wrong with it. How do I permanently or temporarily stop it. Even in task manager I only have a few minutes after stop process then it starts up again.

I also thought within 'installed programs/ programs running' i could stop it there but it does not allow that. I also noticed about 10 programs installed with no name, does anyone else have this problem ? Running office 2007 and outlook as my mailer if that makes any difference.

Think for me the only option may be format C. Its a real pain because I am using a striped RAID system and its a pain to reinstall.

Thanks for any help

thats magic worked no more stupid search engine using up my CPU. I am annoyed why it went wrong though. Think as I have only put Vista on will probably do a full reformat and reinstall again to see if it self corrects. Do you think its a conflict with microsoft outlook as some seem to suggest ?

Thanks

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
