We keep a lare number of useful files on a file server, and I would like to add them to my indexed search. Of course I can't copy the files to my local hard disk, because that would be way too large. How can I do this?

Please check if the following plug-in works: https://blogs.technet.com/seanearp/archive/2007/04/21/how-do-i-index-network-shares-in-vista.aspx http://gallery.live.com/liveitemdetail.aspx?li=a6e16121-76eb-4f3d-a392-46e2d948f2fa&pl=6&bt=15 In addition, you may need to enable Windows Search Services on the server.

Well MS have release hotfix KB2268596. Try installing the hotfix, add the EnableSearchingSlowLibrariesInStartMenu DWORD reg value, then install the UNC addin and try rebuilding the index. Does that now return search results from the network in places like Start search?Anonymuos
