razz Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Is it beneficial to un-check the "Index this drive for faster searching" option for your drive? Some seem to think this makes a noticeable difference to performance.

ishan_rulz Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Depends on how often you use the Search option. I don't use it much, so I've disabled mine. Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalj Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The indexing service it's disabled by default, so the tick only works if the service is enabled. Piriform Software User Guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have the Indexing service disabled, and I was wondering if I should uncheck the "Index this drive for faster searching" box in the Properties dialog of my C drive. EDIT: For some reason, the checkbox is unchecked now. Nevermind about my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted June 25, 2009 Moderators Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have indexing disabled. For "faster" proper searching without Windows filtering out results and finding nothing I use NirSoft SearchMyFiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
