Wizard

IsSearch Wizard allows changing some settings of Indexing Service. If Indexing Service was stopped, the Wizard will propose to run Indexing Service:

IsSearch Wizard allows runing Indexing Service when the computer starts (By default Indexing Service is turned off):

Afterwards you can tune the performance of Indexing Service:

• If you choose Immediately Indexing Service will start indexing the files in selected folders immediately. (The default folders selected for indexing are the root folders of the computer (C:\, D:\ for example) and My Documents folder. Thus the indexes will be created with maximum speed but the processor will be loaded more intensively.
• The Idle setting allows runing the indexing process while the computer is idle.

Catalogs and folders

Indexing with default settings is a long and inefficient process. You can considerably reduce time of preparation to search by removing the root folders from the catalogue:

And adding only the needed folders:

Except the default catalog System you can create your own catalogs:

IsSearch allows selecting catalogs and folders to search (you can also indicate if the search should be done in a particular folder only, or in its subfolders as well):

Indexing

Indexing Service automatically creates and updates indexes.

You can tune the index performance with IsSearch:
