Why can't Desktop Google search fine a renamed file? TheraTeam 12/17/2008 2:40:06 PM I use Desktop search a lot. I just discovered that if a file has been renamed, nothing in that file will show up on Desktop search? Why is that?

RE: Why can't Desktop Google search fine a renamed file? DeanH 12/17/2008 7:25:00 PM Google Desktop Search (and most other desktop search apps) require their index to update before they return a hit. By default the indexing will only run after a certain time of CPU inactivity or by a manual request. Until the index is refreshed, any changes to file content, file names, new files, etc. will not be reflected. One tip, usually Windows Explorer will find the changes if no index refresh has occured. Hope this helps DeanH "TheraTeam" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I use Desktop search a lot. I just discovered that if a file has been > renamed, nothing in that file will show up on Desktop search?
