rebuild search index

[Guest Candace]

How do I rebuild the search index in Windows XP? I downloaded Windows Desktop

Search, but searches are incomplete. I read that rebuilding the search index

would eliminate this issue.

 

I was unable to use the following instructions:

--> Control Panel

--> System and Maintenance

--> Indexing Options

--> Advanced

--> Rebuild

because I don't have a "System and Maintenance" category when I click on

Control Panel -- and yes, I am looking at it in Category view, not Classic

view.

 

Where can I go to rebuild the search index?

Re: rebuild search index

 

I don't know the answer to your question; however, I too found the XP search

capability was incomplete and extremely slow. Accordingly, I installed a

freebie call Agent Ransack

< http://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/download.aspx > and it runs circles

around the native search capability.
