Windows Desktop Search limitations?
I have Windows Search 4.0 installed on my job computer, (XP Professional). I get unreliable results when I perform my searches. The program sometimes fails to find words I know are there, it sometimes finds part of my search, for instance "stegmotor" gave a list of all files where "steg" could be found. If I search without "" before and after the searchword I sometimes get no results. When I include them I get too many files. Is there a size limitation? The total indexed size is 13 GB.

I have no real answer for you, but are you sure you wanna work with WDS? Because I work with Lookeen and had never problems like that, it always found what I was searching for... Sorry I have no better solution for you, but maybe you try this tool and it works then!

VilManny - all little off topic but how is Lookeen working out for you for OTHER than Outlook searches for file content (i.e. .doc; pdf's; .xls,etc)? I constantly have issues (inconsistent results) in W7 64 bit. Thanks!

I would love to try another program but my employer probably won't let me.
