Re: Searching the IFS using Windows7

I just got upgraded to WIN7-Pro here at the office.

On occasion I have to search for a data string in files in folders in my
IFS, some of which have over 10000 files in them, and all I may have is a
name and approximate date the file was created. In XP-Pro this was easy as
cake. But in WIN7, today I had to do my first search to ensure we really
received a file, but the WIN7 search couldn't find the file. I was able to
eventually find it manually (by looking in every file received for the last
three days).





Are you using a mapped drive? I tried searching the content of some text
files using a mapped drive (Navigated to the folder in Win explorer,
pressed F3) with success. Tried the same search using UNC notation
(\\server\...) with no success.
