在Windows 10中，默认搜索功能^{(default search function)}会为您的 Internet Explorer 历史记录^{(Explorer history)}、开始菜单和^{(Start Menu)}系统分区^{(system partition)}上的整个用户文件夹编制索引。如果您想在Windows 10的搜索索引中添加^{(search index)}网络文件夹^{(network folder)}怎么办？例如，假设您有一个NAS（网络附加存储）设备，并且您有一堆视频、图片和文件，这些视频、图片和文件根本不适合您的 PC？

在本文中，我将向您展示如何将网络文件夹^{(network folder)}添加到搜索索引^{(search index)}中，这样当您从资源管理器^(Explorer)中搜索文件时，您还将获得包含存储在网络文件夹^{(network folder)}中的文件的结果。

注意：从技术上讲，Windows 客户端不会将网络位置添加到本地搜索索引中。相反，它将该搜索传递给服务器，服务器将使用其索引执行搜索。如果您尝试搜索 NAS 设备，它将实时执行搜索，因此结果需要一些时间才能出现。如果搜索 Windows 文件服务器，您需要确保服务器上的搜索索引包含所有需要的位置。^{(Note: Technically speaking, the Windows client will not add a network location to the local search index. Instead, it will pass that search on to the server and the server will perform a search using its index. If you are trying to search a NAS device, it will perform the search in real-time, so the results will take some time to appear. If searching a Windows File server, you need to ensure that the search index on the server includes all desired locations.)}

第 1 步 - 共享文件夹

您要做的第一件事实际上是共享要包含在索引中的文件夹。例如，如果它是存储在Windows PC上的文件，您需要在NAS或主机^{(host machine)}上共享该文件夹。例如，我想在Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}搜索索引^{(search index)}中包含一些存储在我的 Windows 7 PC 上的文件。这些是我想要包括的三个测试文件：

因此，我转到Windows 7并通过^{(Windows 7)}右键单击并选择^{(right-clicking and choosing)} Properties来共享该文件夹。

然后我单击共享^(Sharing)选项卡，高级共享^{(Advanced Sharing)}，选中共享此文件夹^{(Share this folder)}，单击权限^{(Permissions)}并给予所有人完全控制^{(Everyone Full Control)}。你显然不必让每个人都完全控制，我只是在这里做，因为它更容易设置。

第 2 步 - 映射网络驱动器

接下来，您必须将该文件夹映射为Windows 10中的驱动器。您可以通过打开资源管理器^(Explorer)然后单击底部的网络来执行此操作。^(Network)在列表中找到您的NAS、文件服务器或 PC^{(file server or PC)}，然后双击它以查看共享文件夹。

继续并单击共享文件夹，然后单击Easy access和Map as drive。请注意，您也可以右键单击该文件夹并选择Map network drive。您需要提供凭据才能登录文件服务器或网络 PC^{(file server or network PC)}。

请注意，除非两台机器具有相同的用户名和密码^{(username and password)}，否则您需要选中使用不同凭据连接^{(Connect using different credentials)}框，然后输入该计算机或文件服务器的^{(computer or file server)}用户名和密码^{(username and password)}。现在，当您转到计算机时，应列出映射的驱动器。

现在右键单击网络驱动器，然后^{(network drive and click)}单击Properties。在底部，确保选中允许此驱动器上的文件除了文件属性之外还有内容索引^{(Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties)}。

执行此操作后，新文件将被扫描并包含在Windows 10搜索中。根据添加的文件数量，您可能需要一些时间才能开始看到结果。现在，当我执行搜索时，我会看到映射的NAS 文件夹^{(NAS folder)}中的文件：

甜的！另外，请注意，对于某些文件类型（如Word文档），它还会为文件的内容编制索引，因此您可以在文本文件等内部进行搜索。正如我之前提到的，这些文件并没有在本地搜索索引^{(search index)}中被索引，尽管. 如果单击开始并输入^{(Start and type)}索引选项，您将看到映射的网络驱动器位置^{(network drive location)}未列出，也无法添加。

基本上，它会实时执行搜索，这就是为什么如果您的网络共享^{(network share)}上有大量文件，它会很慢。就是这样！此外，请务必查看我关于如何重建搜索索引^{(search index)}的帖子，以防您在搜索时没有得到所有想要的结果。如果您在Windows 10中搜索^{(Windows 10)}网络位置^{(network location)}时遇到任何问题，请在此处发表评论，我会尽力提供帮助。享受！

How to Add Network Folders to the Windows Search Index

In Windowѕ 10, the dеfault seаrch function indеxes your Internet Explorеr history, Start Menu, and the entire users folder on the system partition. What if you want tо add a network folder to the search index in Windows 10? For example, let’s say you have a NAS (netwоrk аttached storage) device and you have а bunch of videos, pіctures and fіles on there that simply won’t fit on your РC?

In this article, I’ll show you how to go about adding a network folder to the search index so that when you search for a file from Explorer, you will also get results that include files stored in the network folder.

Note: Technically speaking, the Windows client will not add a network location to the local search index. Instead, it will pass that search on to the server and the server will perform a search using its index. If you are trying to search a NAS device, it will perform the search in real-time, so the results will take some time to appear. If searching a Windows File server, you need to ensure that the search index on the server includes all desired locations.

Step 1 – Share Folder

The first thing you want to do is actually share the folder you want to include in the index. You’ll need to share the folder on your NAS or on the host machine, if it’s files stored on a Windows PC, for example. As an example, I wanted to include some files stored on my Windows 7 PC in the Windows 10 search index. These are the three test files I want to include:

So I went to Windows 7 and shared the folder by right-clicking and choosing Properties.

Then I clicked on the Sharing tab, Advanced Sharing, checked Share this folder, clicked on Permissions and gave Everyone Full Control. You obviously don’t have to give everyone full control, I’m just doing it here because it’s easier to setup.

Step 2 – Map Network Drive

Next you have to map the folder as a drive in Windows 10. You can do this by opening Explorer and then clicking on Network at the bottom. Find your NAS, file server or PC in the list and then double-click on it to see the shared folders.

Go ahead and click on the shared folder and then click on Easy access and Map as drive. Note that you can also just right-click on the folder and choose Map network drive. You’ll need to provide credentials to log into the file server or network PC.

Note that unless both machines have the same username and password, you’ll need to check the Connect using different credentials box and then type in the username and password for that computer or file server. Now when you go to computer, the mapped drive should be listed.

Now right-click on the network drive and click on Properties. At the bottom, make sure to check the Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties.

Once you do this, the new files will be scanned and included in the Windows 10 search. Depending on how many files have been added, it could take some time before you start seeing the results. Now when I perform a search, I see files from my mapped NAS folder:

Sweet! Also, note that for certain file types like Word documents, it also indexes the contents of the files, so you can search inside text files, etc. As I mentioned earlier, these files aren’t being indexed in the local search index, though. If you click on Start and type in indexing options, you’ll see that the mapped network drive location is not listed nor can it be added.

Basically, it’s performing the search in real-time, which is why it’s going to be slow if you have a huge number of files on your network share. That’s about it! Also, be sure to check out my post on how to rebuild the search index in case you are not getting all the desired results when doing a search. If you have any problems with searching a network location in Windows 10, post a comment here and I’ll try to help. Enjoy!
