Kool, Testing now :)

This totally rocks! I love that I can see my indexing status, I can speed up indexing and pause indexing when I want to - oh and nice touch to see the version of search I am using - who knew that could be considered cool!

Cheers matey :)

in my vista ultimated (italian) THIS NOT WORK.

Just added this to the vista sidebar configured to run in Windows XP, many vista gadgets will not run like this but the indexer status runs great :) I love it and thank you for making it available to all. Nice touch linking to the indexer tool when you click the gadget.

On my Vista Ultimate 64bit the tool doesn´t run...

When I try to install it nothing happens.. I'm running Vista Home Premium 64bit and whe

Sound cool but i have the same Prob that Kenny has. I installed it and nothing happen. I use Vista Business 32bit Version.

Doesn't work :( It just doesn't install :( German Vista x64 Business

Hi, Rename the .gadget file to a .zip file, not unpack it. Make a new folder called de-DE and copy the contents of en-US to de-DE (don't delete en-US). Now repack the files as zip, rename the .zip to .gadget again and install, works. German Versions tested only.

In the above text is a typo, where it reads "Rename the .gadget file to a .zip file, not unpack it." it should read: Rename the .gadget file to a .zip file, NOW unpack it. :)

You must open the gadget file with winrar or an other compressions programm.. then rename the en-US folder in de-DE if you have a german Vista... same for any other language^^

Just renaming the folder doesnt help - the gadget becomes useless and dont work anymore. PC-WORLD-Germany has a full how-to-article for german Vista-Users. http://tinyurl.com/6ysapq

When I try to install it on Vista Home Premium 32 bit in Spanish nothing happens, doesn't install.

world > en-us

Hi guys, thanks for the quick feedback! I have updated the gadget and I believe it should now work on non-English systems. Please let me know if you have further issues. Thanks!

Good Work Brandon. First tried the en-US Version. Who did her job without a problem after adding the de-De Folder. The new Version works on German Vista Ultimate without any Problems. Thanks!

Thanks, Brandon. Installed and Working perfectly in my Spanish Vista. Good Work.

Well, the script to start/stop indexing doesn't work on german vista, it tries to load from the en-us folder.

@german vista versions just make dir "en-us" in c:\Users\"profilename"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows sidebar\Gadgets\Indexer Status.gadget. Now copy dir "vbs" to "en-us".

I found that yesterday's fix had an unfortunate side effect (that's what I get for not properly testing a change). I have now corrected it, and the gadget including the indexer controls should now work on all versions of Vista. The version has been updated to 1.1.

Nice little gadget. Seems to work great so far on Home Premium x64.

Great work! I missed that functionality on my desktop for a long time. Never unerstood why this functionylity was removed. IIRC the early MSN Desktop search and Stuff I've Seen provided this functionality in the tray.

Dude you rock! :-) Not to be a twit but did you ever finish the second part of the article that introduced this gadget? --Greg

dude this gadget is awesome..thanks
