Indexing Metadata and File Content

[RyanCSTL]

Is there a way to ensure Metadata and file content is indexed?

We noticed the file indexing is very quick but after enabling (Assuming you can) How much time does it add? Obviously ballpark is what we are looking for. If 9tb of files takes 30 seconds to index normally, are we talking about half an hour for metadata/file content?

Thanks!

Easiest way to check is to do a search.

For example, if you index length, search for:

ext:*.flac;*.mp3;*.wav;*.ogg;*.mkv;*.mp4;*.avi;*.flv;*.webm !length:

This will show audio/video files with no length.



Everything will keep the length up-to-date when the file is modified.
Ctrl+F5 can be used to refresh index properties, but it is generally not needed.

Depends on the total size of the content and metadata and the properties being indexed.

HDD: ~100MB/s
SSD: ~300MB/s
NVMe SSD: up to 10GB/s (Everything will max out your NVMe SSD read speeds to index content)

Everything stores content in memory.
Please avoid going over 1GB of indexed content.

Please check your statistics under Tools -> Debug -> Statistics.
Statistics will show the content index size.



A progress bar is shown in the status bar when indexing properties/content.
Everything will use the system to gather some properties.
Reading properties will take some time.
Expect hours for metadata and longer for content.
