Suggestion for searching NAS

Post by jgt1942 »

As I understand Everything it will not search a NAS unit however a possible solution would be to create a file (e.g. a database) that contains a listing of all the files on the NAS unit (e.g. a directory listing, there are several applications that will do this) and then Everything could search this file. This would be somewhat similar to the ETP server function and I suspect a lot of what is in ETP could be used. It would be really nice if there were options to either rebuild the DB on the fly when a search is started or some time frequency setting (like every hour). I'm about to move to a Netgear 15TB NAS and loosing the Everything search function would be very painful.
