By default, Windows looks inside compressed archives like .zip and .cab files
for other files to index, and this can lead to a rather strange phenomenon. If
a search finds a file that happens to be inside a .zip archive, the search
results won??™t tell you this; instead, the Folder and Folder path columns will
just be blank. If you get tired of seeing extraneous, unlabeled results in your
searches, disable Vista??™s built-in .zip support, as described in ???Zip It Up,???
earlier in this chapter.
As you work, Windows indexes your files in the background. In theory, this
should happen only when the computer is idle, but in practice, it??™s not
unusual to hear the hard disk thrashing while seeing SearchIndexer.exe consuming
more than a trivial percentage of processor cycles in Task Manager
(see Chapter 5). If you need to complete a processor-intensive task as
quickly as possible, or if you just want better performance in a game, you
can temporarily stop the search indexer task without disabling the search
index altogether.
