Re: How to make search result caching work ?

Post by Ysl »

What I am looking for seem to be exactly what "Everything" does : instant find of my searching.

It seem that you are on the right way to implement this in our favorite software

Thanks

You have to understand that search results caching is something completely different from indexing your hard disk. XY does not and will not do any indexing.

Concerning the snapshot functionality: I decided to postpone this feature. I'm now looking at VFO and Undo...

Be aware that snapshot is NOT what you want to have (if I got you right). This is not indexing...

I think I got it right

I just would like a way to have an instant result of a search and it will be possible because the whole content of a drive could be cached and could be searched.

I don't care if the data are 2 days old and I could anyway update the cache if I want.

This could even be bettered with the compare option of the cached files and the real drive or another cached files

Sorry, but forget it. The way the XYplorer Cache is built it's optimized for caching search results, not a whole drive. If you do the latter using the cache will be slower than a fresh search! What you want is an indexed search. You won't get it with XY.

Hi

When searching on a linux server my search results don't get cached. The whole search starts anew as soon as I activate the search tab. I was just searching for file names by the way. How can this annoying behaviour be solved? At least the result overwiew content (path names, dates, sizes etc) should be cached. My version 9.20.

Thanks.

Why would the cache not work? The cache needs rights to write in the Panes subfolder. Could that be the problem?

Somehow my panes folder is write-protected. But oddly enough I cannot change this right in my Admin Account, it reverts to the initial state each time I try to change that. I assume I have to go into safe mode to elevate the rights. I am using XP Home.

XP Home only allows modifying access rights when started in safe mode, unlike XP Professional which also allows this when started normally. Vista wasn't that big a success, but at least that was fixed...

Thanks. I will try doing this awkward step in safe mode sometime later.
