CertiGuide to A+ (A+ 4 Real)  9  Chapter 1: What are Operating Systems and How Do They Work?       9  Lost in the Maze? How to Search

Search Options 1 File Management

Full text indexing is a search enhancement provided by Microsoft. It maintains a cache of the contents on the hard drive, which (in theory) speeds up the searching process. In practice, this feature is only useful if you need to perform a large amount of searches on a regular basis. It does consume system resources and can slow disk access down, as it must keep track of all file and folder changes. With modern, fast hard drives with large caches, this option is almost never required.

To perform a search, simply fill out the text fields as required and click the “Search Now” button. Explorer will begin the process and display any results as it works.
