Thank you for your reply.
I understand the second point. If the overwhelming choice is not to have a
file selected by default, this is fine. After all it's only an extra mouse
click.
As for the answer to my first query, I am afraid it does not address my
concern. I do not have a schedule to update my indexes at all. The problem
must lie somewhere else. The thing is that some files are searched
instantly while others take quite a long time. There is no logic to it. Or
at least I do not understand it. But it is quite frustrating.
I would be grateful if you could investigate this further.
Many thanks!
