index

In the indexing options of Windows 7 there is a folder called Data which is excluded from indexing for the C:\ drive by default.

Data Folder on drive C Can someone confirm this, please? I was not able to locate that folder on my drive, nor include it in the search index.

The difference in number of indexed files is unsatisfying: windows-7 native indexing service:377703 files on six drives; third party desktop search indexing service:698654 files on the same number of drives.

Files in UA Control seem not being indexed without proper priviledges. How can this be circumvented?
