通过限制结果来加快Windows Vista“开始”菜单搜索

The Windows Vista start menu search box is one of my favorite features in Vista, but searching can be pretty slow if you have a lot of personal files, because by default the start menu search also searches files, windows contacts, windows mail, history, and favorites.

Windows Vista开始菜单搜索框是我在Vista中最喜欢的功能之一，但是如果您有很多个人文件，搜索可能会非常慢，因为默认情况下，开始菜单搜索还会搜索文件，Windows联系人，Windows邮件，历史记录，和收藏夹。

You can customize the search results returned in the Start menu search box to only return the results that you want. I personally only want to use the start menu search to pull up applications, so I disabled everything else. 

您可以自定义在“开始”菜单搜索框中返回的搜索结果，以仅返回所需的结果。 我个人只想使用开始菜单搜索来拉起应用程序，所以我禁用了其他所有功能。

To configure this setting, right click on the Start button and select Properties. Click the Customize button, and you can scroll down to the Search checkboxes.

要配置此设置，请右键单击“开始”按钮，然后选择“属性”。 单击自定义按钮，然后可以向下滚动到搜索复选框。

For best results, change the Search files radio button to “Don’t search for files”. The start menu is too small to find files anyway. This will speed up searching immensely.

为了获得最佳效果，请将“搜索文件”单选按钮更改为“不搜索文件”。 开始菜单太小而无法找到文件。 这将极大地加快搜索速度。

Here’s the details on what the other options do:

以下是其他选项的详细信息：

• Search – Should disable the search entirely, but doesn’t seem to remove the search box. (Note: This option is removed in Service Pack 1).
  搜索–应该完全禁用搜索，但似乎没有删除搜索框。 (注意：此选项在Service Pack 1中已删除)。
• Search communications – Disables searching through emails and contacts. As far as I can tell, it’s only Windows Mail and Windows Contacts right now. I assume other applications will eventually be included here. I disabled this since I don’t use either product.
  搜索通信–禁用通过电子邮件和联系人进行搜索。 据我所知，目前只有Windows Mail和Windows Contacts。 我认为其他应用程序最终将包含在这里。 我不使用任何一种产品，因此将其禁用。
• Search favorites and history – Searches through your IE favorites and browser history.
  搜索收藏夹和历史记录–搜索您的IE收藏夹和浏览器历史记录。
• Search Files – You can change this to search all files, or just your home directory. Or disable entirely for speed.
  搜索文件–您可以将其更改为搜索所有文件或仅搜索主目录。 或完全禁用以提高速度。
• Search Programs – Searches through the start menu and applications.
  搜索程序–搜索开始菜单和应用程序。

You can customize to your liking.

您可以根据自己的喜好进行自定义。
