XP search does not work

  1. Default XP search does not work

    Hi,

    I was redirected to this group to re-post my question. Still not sure if it
    is in the right group.

    I have Windows XP with Windows XP Service Pack 2. The search on "A word or
    Phase in the file" doesn't work properly. I did some research and understood
    how search on XP works differently than Win2000.
    I went through the link
    http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q309173
    to follow the Method 2 but it still does not work.

    Here are my problems:
    When I do the search on "A word or Phase in the file",
    #1 - I noticed, in the .asp file, for anything included in <%...%> is not
    searched
    at all. It does search right on the text outside <%...%> in the .asp.
    #2 - On the mapped network drive, no matter what word I put there to search
    for, it never comes back any result.

    Can you help?

    Hi Beve,

    This is an absolutely correct and 'by-design' behavior of indexing service.
    Content enclosed in <% %> of ASP will be dynamically renderred at
    server-side.

    If indexing service returns the ASP source code, it will be a big security
    flaw, isn't it?

    Thanks for your reply.

    How about my #2 question? If I mapped a network drive, can the drive be
    searchable? I knew it is searchable on Windows 2000.

    Hi Beve,

    Please open Computer Managemenr->Indexing Service snap-in.

    If you want to add a new directory in a catalog for index server. You
    can't add a mapped drive but will have to use a UNC path. You will get an
    invalid directory error when trying to use a mapped drive.

    You can't use a mapped drive since the mapping will go away when you log
    out of the machine. You have to specify a UNC path to be indexed if the
    drive is not local.
