Never worked instantly for me and I know I'd use it all the time if it did work instantly, like I imagine NI Kore operates.Live Manual page 30 wrote:Live maintains an index of the hard disk so it can deliver search results instantly
How to fix it
All credit to Jekblad for this
I'm under the impresssion that during a search, with automatic rescan turned on, Live build an index of everything no matter what you enter into the search field. To get the impressively near instant search results turn off automatic rescan but only after you've seen one search out to its fullest conclusion with all your external drives turned on. I became impatient at one point and cancelled a search because I wanted to work, this seemed to create a partial index which was useless (entering 'delay' yielded zero results ) so the index used will only be as complete as the last search performed with rescan activated. Be aware this may take some time if your running a lot of external drives but it will most likely be worth it.
