According to Vista's help system in the final release, Vista does not index
the contents of network shares. It also doesn't appear to ask for help from
Windows Server 2003 indexing service, when those files are indexed on the
server. I have not been able to discover a way to do a fast search through
the full content of files in a folder on a server.

Is this really true? If so, this is a huge disappointment and a big step
backwards from Windows XP with Windows Desktop Search. I have many clients
running Small Business Server, with a central repository of company files,
and My Document folders redirected onto the server. Vista will index offline
files, I assume, but I can't run Company folders in offline mode on every
workstation. These are small businesses that shouldn't have to buy third
party search appliances.

I have to be missing something. How can I index the contents of network
folders in Vista?
