Folders
Hidden folders
You can specify the hidden folders in your network under the Hidden folders tab. You can use this option if there are hidden resources in your LAN and you want LAN Search Pro to discover them.
Folders
Use the Folders tab to specify the folders to be searched.
These settings need to be properly understood to ensure that you always get the expected results. The exclude feature works differently than the include feature as follows:
If the option is set to Only specified folders , LAN Search will crawl only the shared root folders matching the specified name(s) and any subfolders of them. For example, if you select this option and a folder name of movies\*, the following folders and their subfolders will be indexed: \\Server\Movies\Cartoon, \\Server\Movies\Fantasy. However, \\Server\Video\Movies would not be crawled because the engine will not search any subfolders below the root Video folder.
If the option is set to All folders except specified, LAN Search will exclude any shared folders matching the specified name(s) and any subfolders of them. For example, if you select this option and a folder name of *movies\*, the following folders and their subfolders will be skipped when indexing because the string "movies" is in each path: \\Server\Movies, \\Server\MyShare\Video\Movies. |
