Search against 'This PC' not including network drives

Post by FatIgor »

Is it possible to make a search with 'This PC' as the root include network drives? I can't see anything relevant in settings.

At the moment against 'This PC' it will search my internal C,D,E,F drives, but ignores the W,X,Y,Z on my NAS. Only realised this today as until recently my NAS was only sharing media, but I've added a work backup drive last week.

I can search against a specific network drive with no problem, but it would be nice to be able to hit all drives, internal and network at once.

I don't think there's an automatic way, but you can specify multiple locations by opening the Info Panel > Find FIles > Name & Location, and then enabling Selected Locations. This way, you can add multiple locations separated by a |, e.g.:

Code: Select all

C:\|D:\|N:\|O:\
