| Neither, for the amount of times I use it (couple of times a month) it's hardly worth installing either |

I agree. For what I do it's way too much indexing overhead. Sure it's nice for email but what both lack is a good delete update. I constantly move email folders around and the indexing just cannot keep up so if I search, it finds more moved/deleted emails than any others. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Make that me too... It's not really worth the hassle.

well i wish there was a tweak / ability to reset the index
I have a lot of archives. Data organised year by year.. stored in DVD's. I just copied it all on a spare pc and set up GDS. Now i can search my 80gig archives with no hassle. So GDS was really worth it here..  ------------- http://www.web2messenger.com/theboss">

I agree for an archival system where you only add stuff it's not bad, but for a live system it's just a pain in the ass. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |
