I click the enable indexing service button in the basic search /search
options, but the change doesn't take. I've tried reinstalling indexing from
the xppro install disk, which it says it does, but shows no disk space taken
up. Also viewed indexing in administrative tools. Says it starts
automatically and is running. The folders I am looking in are selected.

The whole point of this for me is to try to find files that have
footnotes--which seems to be the "number of notes" built-in property, but I
can't verify that anywhere.

I thought indexing might ensure that the more obscure built-in properties
could be included in a search.
