not really ;-)

I *am* using the machine on which the index is built. If I search from WDS
dialogue box it picks up files it's indexed on U: BUT if on the SAME machine
I open en explorer window to U: and then say search, it says "U:\" is not
indexed.

I've tried removing U: from the index and adding it's UNC to the index
instead, with the same result. Or am I missing something?
