Trying to get Windows 7 clients to search a network file share using the search index on the file server, but doesnt seem to be working.
My setup is: Windows Storage Server Standard 2008 (not R2), Windows 7 Standard workstation with mapped network drive pointing to file share on Storage Server. File Server role is installed on server as well as Windows Search Service, but when I run a test search on the server, I get entirely different results from running a test search on the Windows 7 client.
I've heard of setting the file share to enable "Offline Mode" on the client workstation to allow the workstation to index the share, but I cant have every workstation downloading and indexing a copy of our file share (hundreds of gigabytes). I tried adding the mapped network drive to the Windows 7 Document Library, but I get the error message saying that the location cant be added because it's not indexed. Suggestions?
