Does SSScanner create file indexes (or, index files)?
Yes, it does (upon your request): along with searches the product performs “on the fly”, it can search even faster by processing files in so-called, Virtual Folders. Virtual Folder is a collection of files, which are physically stored in one or several drives and folders either on your computer, your company’s or your home local area network. When you add files to a virtual folder, SSScanner indexes them to allow your queries be performed faster; the product maintains indexes between sessions. To create, open and manipulate Virtual Folders, click the corresponding pane using the right mouse button. To search in a particular Virtual Folder, go to the tab “Search Phrase and Location”, select “Virtual Folders” in the “Search in” drop-down list, after which click the “Browse” button and choose a desired folder.
