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 remember mine did too. I must have messed with something in
the registry.
When I changed a DVD, the title didn't change in "my
computer". Annoying. I "fixed" that, and now it updates.
Can't remember what it was I changed, but might have something
to do with the search updating automatically.

PS I have indexing and USN disabled. Though something insists
on turning journaling on once or twice a week ....

Batch
fsutil usn queryjournal c:
.......
fsutil usn queryjournal z:

sleep 3

If it's on I run another batch and delete and disable it.


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.

Yes, that used to work ...

I currently use "Index Your Files". It has the advantage of
allowing me to search inside any file, but the disadvantage of
building an index.

Almost half a million files. Search for "dog" inside "*.exe"
files. 1236 files contain the string "dog". Took 2 minutes 45 seconds.
Didn't use USN. Clicking on any file on the list takes me instantly to
the place(s) that contains "dog".
