Server shared drive not searching file contents within .xlsx files

A user reported an issue where they couldn't use the search function to search within a shared drive they connected to.

I have tried various steps including indexing options, and other file types.

Within indexing options, I noticed the .xlsx file type was missing from the list. This has now been added, with Plain Text Filter as the filter description.

When comparing the same file type on my own machine, the .xlsx has Office Open XML Format Excel Filter.

Is there any way to get that on the server end to see if that helps?

Interestingly the same files when copied on my machine locally, the filter works fine. There must be a server setting somewhere that I can't find.

Any help is much appreciated!

 

Search Content of MHT files

Hi David,

Most probably, this is a problem with the search and indexing of your Windows 10 computer. For us to provide the best resolution possible, we would like to clarify the following:

• Are you trying to search the content of MHT files using Cortana?
• Have you tried searching it using the File Explorer?
• Are you using a third-party app to search for the content of MHT files?

As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the troubleshooter for search and indexing. To run the Search and Indexing troubleshooter, follow these steps:

• Click the Start button and select the Settings
  icon.
• Choose Update & Security from the list.
• Click Troubleshoot in the left pane of the window.
• Under Find and fix other problems.
• Select Search and Indexing and click Run the troubleshooter.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

 

Uber file server build -- suggestions

Uber file server build -- suggestions?

I'm currently in the process of buying stuff for my file server build. Going to try and keep this build all in one thread this time.

Stuff already bought:

• 
  Motherboard (socket 1155 H61)
  RAM (1600MHz)
  PCI SATA cards
  Operating System (Windows 8 + FreeNAS)
  SSD
  CPU (35w Pentium Ivybridge 2.6GHz)

Looking for suggestions on:

• 
  GPU -- use the on-die GPU or buy a PCI-E graphics card (was thinking of a 7750)? My only requirement is that it is able to run 1080p mkv files and play Blurays without a problem.
  Case -- needs to hold as many 3.5" drives as humanly possible (more than 10 at least), while not being too expensive
  PSU -- needs to be able to run over 40 SATA HDDs as well as 6xPCI RAID cards and 1xPCI-E 2.0 RAID card. Silver, Gold or Platinum?
  CPU Cooler -- fanless or not?
  Case fans

That's all I can think of for now...unless I'm forgetting something...oh and one more thing -- I will be buying the hard drives two at a time as I run out of space. Also the PCI-E RAID card will be bought a lot later down the line, as I've only just got enough hard drives for 1 out of 6 of my PCI SATA cards.

Any suggestions, feel free to post. Thanks
