To support real-time indexed filename search, Access Connect requires file system notifications provided by Windows in order to keep its search index up to date when files change. These notifications are not available over the SMB connection Access Connect uses to access file servers and NAS systems being reshared. For this reason, traditional index-based filename search is disabled on Network Reshare volumes. Access Connect 9.0 introduces a new Acronis Content Indexing option. This indexing is performed based on a defined schedule, rather than tracking real-time changes. With this option enabled, users can take advantage of fast indexed filename searches.
To support full content Network Spotlight search, Access Connect utilizes either the Window Search index maintained by the Windows Search service on the server Access Connect is installed on, or the Acronis Content Indexing service. Windows Search can be configured to index remote shares that are hosted on a Windows Server that has Windows search installed and indexing. Acronis Content Indexing can be configured to index any remote shares, even those residing on a non-Windows server or NAS.
If Network Spotlight search, either using Windows Search or Acronis Content Indexing, is not enabled, Macs searching Access Connect Network Reshare volumes will receive search results based on filename, but searches will take additional time to complete compared to searching indexed local volumes.
