Solidworks Explorer Network Search

Hello Community,

I use Solidworks 2015 with a "floating" network license that can be used on only one  workstation at a time, no PDM module. 

I'm having a problem using Solidworks Explorer to search a network location. 

Even if I put the path of my network directory in the solidworks explorer options, when I perform my search no results on the files present on the network. 

Has anyone ever had a similar problem? 

Thanks in advance!

Hello, the directory is well accessible from Solidworks explorer when navigating to the path?

Yes, when I go to solidworks explorer I can navigate to my network location.

But even when it's displayed and I see the files, if I type their names into the search it doesn't find them.

A priori the search uses the indexed search of windows (windows search index) and there are a lot of limitations:

Clearly, it doesn't really work...
