Indexer Status gadget updated

October 8, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Desktop Search, WDS Development, WS4, Windows Shell, Windows Vista

I updated my Windows Search indexer gadget with a couple of fixes.  If you run the gadget, you may want to update in order to fix issues with the play and fast-forward (“index now”) buttons not properly reflecting the state of the indexer back-off feature after clicking one of them.

Also, if you like the gadget, please go to the Gadget Gallery page and give it a good rating :)

    Hi,

    is it normal, that adding v1.2 to sidebar doesn’t detect the previous version (no kind of update handling), which will result in having two versions installed?

  2. Brandon Says:

    Adding 1.2 if you have 1.1 should prompt you to upgrade. I just verified that behavior on my machine. Not really sure why yours would be any different.

    F3 search fails on folders with a number sign (#) in the name

    Problem: Attempting to search inside a folder (by pressing F3) fails when the folder has the number sign (#) in its name (the only exemption is when it’s the first character).

    The search fails with an error that it couldn’t find the path. Sorry, my screenshot is from a german Vista, but you can easily try it yourself.

    tuc, I can’t seem to reproduce that bug.
