    Local HD searches slow & not completing


    Hello,

    I have been trying to do searches on my hard drives as in plural I have two internal hard drives one of which is a 1 TB that is divided into two partitions. The search has been painfully slow and pretty much never completing to the end to review results. I do not understand why my search feature on my local machine in windows 10 is not completing and giving me any results as in it doesn't even tell me that nothing was found. Does anybody have any experience with this particular problem? Is there anyway to check if disc indexing is turned on or off and does anyone know whether it is better and more performance enhancing to have it turned either on or off as in one way or the other? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,



    :)

    Google+ Apps for Nokia N8?

    I would recommend Google HD Browser at this point. It is a bit slow, but the app is being actively maintained, and that is most important when dealing with changing requirements (APIs) at Google's end.
