I'm running XP pro SP3 on my work computer and installed windows desktop search so I could search emails thru Outlook and also a large number of files on a network share. It took a long time to index (not surprising, 29,000 files, lots of word documents) but now that its done, it seems to want to re-index every time I log in, or once every 24 hours or something. Is this normal? it kicks the crap out of my system when its doing this. I'm also using Symantec Endpoint Protection (SBS edition) so maybe the combination of those is whats sucking the power so much.
PC is a dell with E2180 dual core @ 2.0GHz and 2GB of ram.
I'd really like to index the word files on the network, is Google desktop a better alternative for this?
