Sir,

Typically for searching volumes which are mounted remotely, folks tend to use FoxTrot Professional since it gives more flexibility for this type of usage scenario,

Nevertheless there is no reason for which this should not work in Personal if the obvious is done - making sure that the remote volume is indeed mounted when searching. (In FoxTrot Pro you can add a separate index for such volumes for instance, and decide whether you are searching online content or not.)

What exactly do you mean by "loses the information" ? The index ? The access to the indexed data ?

When you look at your preferences then, are the folders from your remote volume grayed, as in off-line, or visible, or absent ?

Suggest you follow up to this message in a private support case please (Help menu) so as not to burden list members with an individual case. Thanks,
