6.6.2 Windows Search and Google Desktop integration

Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition has plug-ins for Google Desktop and Windows

Search. If you use any of these search engines on your computer, you can install an appropriate

plug-in for indexing your backups. Indexing will speed up searches in the backups. After indexing you

will be able to search backup content by entering a filename into the Google Desktop or Windows

Search deskbar query field without opening Acronis True Image Home 2011 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 backup) or where it was before

 See in which backup a given file is stored and recover that backup

In addition to indexing the files in backups by their names, the Google Desktop and Windows Search

provide Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition with the ability to perform full-text indexing

of many files in your backups. 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 backups or backups protected by a password and encryption will not be

indexed, though Google Desktop and Windows Search provide search for the tib files of such backups.

Furthermore, Google Desktop and Windows Search have no access to Acronis Secure Zone, so these search

engines will be unable to search and index backups in the zone.
