Spotlight and Windows Drives

[syphax]

I did my due diligence on finding an answer for my question on this forum and the web in general, but no dice.

I'm running Windows XP on Parallels (3.0 build 5608). I have 2 virtual Windows drives, C and S, which are mounted volumes in OS X. I see that these are mounted as MacFUSE volumes.

I would like Spotlight to index one of them. How do I do this? I suspect mdutils is involved, and it sounds like I may want to change some MacFUSE options so root/Spotlight can see these drives.

Thanks in advance...

Right in the frickin' manual... thanks.

So, I'm not a complete idiot

I had apparently already turned on the Spotlight access for shared features, as described in the manual.

And yet any search for items known to be on a shared windows drive returns nothing.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Create ticket in support , and we pass situation to developers,
Another alternative is to use Google Desktop

Thanks

Will do.

I am hesitant to use any indexer in Windows (all I really need is filename indexing, a la www.espsw.com) because Parallels eats enough CPU as it is (ESP is wonderful but is a real CPU hog).
