Windows 7 search through windows server 2003 shares
This is kinda strange issue , two new computers running Windows 7 pro installed on our network.
Any one running windows XP can search within any shares , but when it comes to Windows 7 , it will not retain any results most of time.
So, when windows 7 user open a shared network folder stored on the server " running SBS 2003 " and then try to search within the folder , it will not retain any results even if you type a single letter ?????
Any help is appreciated !
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, this issue can be caused by the index option settings in Windows 7.
I suggest rebuilding the index to see if the same issue occurs:
1.
Open Indexing Options by clicking the
Start button
, and then clicking
Control Panel. In the search box, type
indexing options, and then click
Indexing Options.
2.
Click
Advanced. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3.
In the
Advanced Options dialog box, click the Index Settings tab, and then click
Rebuild. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Also try installing windows search for Server 2003, you can refer:
