3D Content Central Search

3D Content Central Search

3D Content Central Search

(OP)
Has something changed with the way that you access 3DCC through the Design Library tab?  Previously, you were able to go to the design library, click on the Search magnifying glass, and pick 3DCC.  Now there is no search magnifier, and it takes about 47 clicks to get to 3DCC...moderately annoying.

Anybody else notice this in '08?

RE: 3D Content Central Search

Do you have windows Desktop search running? Make sure that service is started and its running and the search should work inside SW fine at either the 3DCC or the search on your machine.

Nope, and I didn't in previous releases either.  Are you saying that I need to have Desktop Search running in order to get the simple magnifying lens search back in the Design Library?  That seems like a worthless change to me.

Windows Desktop Search is terrible.  Scott, are you recommending it?

RE: 3D Content Central Search

No I just know that WDS is required to search the HDD and 3DCC and other online sites through the search bar at the top of the SW. I hate it too, but its the only one the will Dissect your files in SW08 and search for files that have been dissected. Its a useful tool, but is a pain to run.

Its your choice in the end... as long as you understand its function... I really don't care if someone uses it or not... I disabled the service on my machine.
