Can't search a remote network drive
When using Start, Search, For Files and Folders in Windows XP SP2, if the
search is performed on a network drive that is across a wide area network, the search comes up empty. Is there a setting to enable searching of files on network shares that are across a WAN? Thanks! |

Don't search a mapped drive
There appears to be a problem searching a mapped drive in Windows XP.
If, for example, you have drive Z mapped to //network-location/data , instead of right clicking the Z drive and "search", click START -- run and type in //network-location and OK. You should see "data" as a folder. Right-click that, and do your search.
