Windows XP >> Search Companion not working I am not able to search a specific network drive with search companion from
my computer. I can search other network drives from this computer and I am
able to edit, delete, add folders and files to the root of this netowrk drive.

If I log into a different computer with the same credentials I can search
this same network drive with out an issue.

Windows XP536

Any error message when you try?.
Open a run command and type in:
regsvr32 jscript.dll click [OK]
regsvr32 srchui.dll click [OK]
Reboot your machine and see if the Search engine will work okay.

If it doesn't then try to locate this file:
Srchasst.inf located here:
C:\Windows\Inf = look in the right pane/windows and see the file and right
click it you will get a list of options one of them Install please select
this to install the file and reboot your machine, does it help?.

Another KB may help is below:

This did not solve the problem and the registry key mentioned in the MS KB
were already there.
