I configured Windows Indexing service on Small Business Server 2003 a few months ago. I configured it to ONLY index one folder shared out to the network.
A windows 7 client could not add the shared folder to their 'library' for fast search capability.
After some brief research, I downloaded & installed Microsoft Search 4.0 on the server. After restarting the server, the search 4.0 was immediately indexing all shares and then some. The Windows 7 client told me the shared folder was now available. I don't mind this behavior and I see where I can tweak some settings and remove some locations.
What I'd like to know is the following:
The old Windows Indexing Service is still running and my configuration is still, well, configured. I stopped the service and set it to MANUAL.
Is this the correct procedure or best practice? There's no need for two indexing services, or is there? If not, why didn't the MS Search 4.0 installation stop the older service?
Thanks for any insight!
