16. Windows Search and Google Desktop

integration

Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition has plug-ins for Google Desktop and Windows

Search (WDS). If you use any of these search engines on your computer, Acronis True Image Home

2010 Netbook Edition will detect the search engine you use and install an appropriate plug-in for

indexing your tib backup archives. Indexing of backups will speed up searches in the backup archives.

After such indexing you will be able to search archive content by entering a filename into the Google

Desktop or Windows Search deskbar query field without opening Acronis True Image Home 2010

Netbook Edition. The search results will be shown in a browser window. Using the search results you

can:

• Select any file and open it for viewing and/or save that file back to anywhere in the file system

(not in the archive) or where it was before

• See in which archive a given file is stored and recover that archive

Google Desktop has a "Quick Find" window. This window is filled with the most relevant results from

your computer. The results change as you type, so you can quickly get to what you want on your

computer. Windows Search provides similar functionality.

In addition to indexing the files in backup archives by their names, the Google Desktop and Windows

Search provide Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition with the ability to perform full-text

indexing of many files in tib archives, so you will be able to use this feature and perform searches of

the files' content.

Full-text indexing of files in backup archives is provided only for the file types recognizable by Google Desktop

and Windows Search. They recognize text files, Microsoft Office files, all Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft

Outlook Express items, and more.

***

The contents of password-protected tib backup archives or archives protected by a password and encryption, as

well as the System State and My E-mail backup archives will not be indexed, though Google Desktop and

Windows Search provide search for the tib files themselves and in the comments to such archives.
