Solidworks Windows Desktop Search
Solidworks Windows Desktop Search
(OP)
I didn't install the search when i upgraded. Once i realized that i inserted the disk and installed the Search option seperatly. But even after installation its not showing in solidworks. I looked in options and searched around but i can't find anything on this problem. I don't want to reinstall the whole program again. Any advice??

Yes ... do not activate it. You will soon regret it if you do. It is a resource hog and slows SW to a crawl on some/many systems.
The Search Index function can be activated from;
Windows ... C:\WINDOWS\system32\searchindexer.exe
SolidWorks ... Tools > Options > System Options > Search
SW Explorer ... Options > Search
If you do activate it, using StefanHammingas macros to start and stop it will help considerably.

I know it slows down Solidworks. But we have so many files on uor server that we have to acsess that it is just way eaiser to do a search for whatever part we are trying to find.

Save you settings using the Copy Settings Wizard (before un-installing), then you will be able to re-install them after re-installing SW.

The search Start/Stop macros I mentioned earlier can be downloaded from the 3rd post of thread559-199391: SolidWorks Search tip
