Troubleshooting Indexing

[ctitanic]

There are many users complaining about high CPU use even when they are not doing anything. Most of the time this is caused by the Indexing of files. I have seen many "power users" recommending to disable this option and that's a real bad idea. Instead of that, here is a very good article that explains how to troubleshoot this functionality.

Thanks for that article. It turned out that my PDF e-book library hadn't been indexed because of the broken iPDF filter.

I wonder how many of those reporting high CPU usages had this issue.

Don't know. It didn't have high CPU usage because of the missing filter. The indexer just stated that the PDF filter was missing and left out my PDF library.

Updating adobe acrobat trader 11.0.04 or later fixes this also.
