FileSearch & .zip file
 

I've known office's FileSearch results to be unpredictable and
performance will depend on indexing service running or not.

Even on my LOCAL drive (with indexing OFF) filesearch (from the UI)
will NOT include .zip files

FileSearch seems to recognize zip files as folders.. and THAT
may depend on whether zipfldr.dll is installed on the pc,
but I'm not sure.

maybe you have to switch to some other (recursive) routines
... good old dir() perhaps, or use scripting's filesystemobject

some googling should yield enough examples.

Hi,

FileSearch omits .zip files on network drives. I have tried
everything with the properties without result. The problem is that it
works on some PCs even with the same configuration...., any
suggestions???
