A message box will pop-up informing you about the indexing status. If there is an enormous pile of files to be indexed, you need to index them first before searching the content.

  2. Bit of a late reply but if you go to File>Options>Search>Indexing Options that will give you how many items have already been indexed, then refer back to how many are left to calculate percentage.

  3. Thanks for the post, but do you know if there is a way to view the index status as a percentage?
    i.e. “4325 items remaining to be indexed. . . . of 5,000; or of 40,000?”
