Never solved this one.

Say I'm searching for *.xor on all drives.

It takes a while, and when it's done it waits a 10-15 seconds and
starts searching again.

If I press "stop" it restarts the search a few seconds later. It won't
accept "stop". Ruddy rapist.

Indexing disabled.

Is there a reg fix to make it search just the once ?

I'm aware that programs and services are running in the background and
probably writing new files, so it might detect the media (the HD) has
changed content.
TIA

I have never had that problem. It searches once and stops. Period.
Dont matter if I am searching for dog, *.mp3, or anything else.

I do wish there was a more user friendly search program that I could
download though. I never was very fond of the built in one. I liked the
one in Windows 98 much better.

User friendly = Agent Ransack.


And even more so if you're just looking for filenames, Everything.
(Which can apparently search content too - I just don't know how it
compares with AR on user-friendliness. But it's certainly user-friendly
for its default function.)
