My comments are for the start/search/for files and folders/advanced search.
... wow. thats still there... lol. never even looked at it.

That's the one that I hate. Yes it's faster than XPs, but they could have kept it cleaner and more simple. Sure I can just use the corner one (if it had location selection too). Maybe I should start using the my computer search bar instead, so I don't have to look at it :) Not a biggie though, I use search only couple times a year anyways.

the corner one kinda does :) it searches where you are - go to my computer and it searches everywhere, go to a specific drive letter and it searches there... and so on. It also works in the network stuff, to search over the LAN. handy that.

They have to adopt Apple search engine and finally stop with this indexing/search BS.

Windows search won't find some system files, either. I don't need protection from the mothership.

Whats wrong with anime :shadedshu its better than most of the shit on american tv..

It's japanese, 1st of all. They need to stick with electronics and engineering. Their TV shows where people get hit in the balls are funny, but tentacle porn, cmon. I can't stand the artwork of most anime, It hurts my head.

True, most TV does suck, but that's universal. There's about 20-25 good shows on TV here. Not saying much, but unless it's on adult swim, animated crazy shit isn't good.

putting it into context for you, turning your statement around against american shows.


Its american, after all. They need to stick with bombing iraqis and praying to jesus. Their TV shows have some cool action stuff, but fart jokes, cmon. I can't stand the crap they think is funny... it makes me nauseous.

:toast:

Just like american TV shows have good and bad stuff (majority bad) anime has the same. If you can watch a porn from a country and think the rest of that countrys media is somehow related to it... theres something wrong with that thinking

Spotlight (Apple's search engine) indexes the drive as well. That's how these desktop search work. All of them.

Well this is strange. I went to format my new usb stick today and I had the option to use exFAT which according to the article is for SP2. I'm on SP1, did this just come out in an update?

I have in mind EasyFind engine. It can instantly search file and directory names without constantly indexing hard drive content.

That's not made by Apple. It's a third party app, and it's much, MUCH slower than Spotlight. The reason it is slower is exactly because it doesn't index. It can come in handy at times tho.
