There's an option "Make search faster" which indexes, I have heard. Never tried it, though. And Google Desktop took a while to index files, if I'm not wrong. Windows 7 magically had everything indexed.(or atleast the folder on some remote drive I searched) @Devendra: It sure is amazing how an OS with “minimum hardware requirements” same as Vista can run on netbooks, no?
