Windows puppy????

SW Explorer relies on Windows Indexing to find files and references. Indexing does not work right on network drives.
At least SW's programmers got paid for meeting a half-baked spec for a half-baked function. Never mind the fact that it doesn't work right.
what version of SWx are you using. if it is 2008 then SWx explorer relies on Windows Desktop Explorer (WDS) to function. if you did not install WDS then it will find nothing. if you did install WDS then you need to index the hard drive to find anything.
and the windows puppy is the standard search companion in windows explorer. iQ
